Had a vibration in truck around 70 to 80 kms per hour changed drive shaft universals, steady bearing and the pinion bearing it now feels worse than before. Rotors, calipers, pads and wheel bearings were also changed. I do not know what else could cause this. The tires are in good condition. It vibrates now even when going slow.

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.

If it is a vibration, can you tell me if it changes related to speed or engine speed? For example, does it only change when the vehicle speed changes, or does it get worse as the RPM's increase?

It may not be related to the drive line, but rather a bad motor mount, transmission mount or harmonic balancer. Take a look through this link. It discusses vibrations caused by a bad motor mount.

Let me know your thoughts after you read through that. Also, let me know if the check engine light stays on when the engine is running.

Take care,
Joe
