Vibration
Has anyone experienced a vibration while driving that was identified and repaired that was not associated with the front suspension. I can feel a vibration in the seat while driving at highway speeds. I'm about to look at the rear tires and drive shaft, but would like to draw on the experience of others. Thanks in advance for any help you offer.
I, too, have noticed some vibration at about 70 mph. My assumption is that the rear wheel balancing is disturbed by the addition of the flexible air valve extension hoses and brackets that are added after the wheels are balanced and mounted. The significant mass of the dual rear wheels and the solid axle may absorb the out of balance component below this speed. This can be checked by removing these hoses and brackets for a trial run, but I have never taken the trouble since I usually drive under 70 mph.

I had to have the tire balance man repeat the job three times before the out of balance condition was finally fixed!

Hey Brent and Randy, the answer is to stay 65 and under and enjoy the scenery without the vibration.
