    Driveline vibration... look for bad u-jonts/tight u-joints, bad driveshaft support bearing, bent shaft, worn yoke....

    Replaced all U-joints from front to back. Carrier bearing does not need it.

    My thinking is if it is drive-line then wouldn't it vibrate all the time even if i let off the pedal and coast?

    Thanks

    get your suspension ride height checked, petes were notorious for making all kinds of weird sounds/vibrations if the ride height was not correct.

    do you have balancers on steer's? if so, could be the balancers. was thinking if you have centramatics where there are steel balls in tube, this may cause slight vibration. just a thought.

    How do you know if your carrier bearing is bad?
