    I have a 2008 Volvo 670. The truck is shaking between 30 - 55mph, after that it goes away. I replaced all the tires on the truck, have alignment performed and the steering tires was balanced. Still the same. Any idea what can be?

    When was the last time your air leveling valve was looked at? If it is not set correctly, it can cause all sorts of odd vibration behavior.

    Any chance you have either a bent wheel, or one of the tires is not correctly mounted and off center?

    The air leveling will be my next try. The wheels looks ok and I had the vibration before I changed all the tires. What I can not understand is that vibrates only below 55

    I would definitely look into the suspension. Make sure no bushings are missing and then make sure the air ride pumps up properly. Sounds to me like you're getting a suspension wobble. Usually simple to fix

    Anyone know if this can be a drive shaft problem?

    Look on driveshaft for missing weights, are you talking about steering wheel shake or floor of truck shaking?

    I would look at the suspension then. And yes make sure the u joints and drive shafts look good as well.

    Crawl under and see if there is any play in the driveshaft check both.

    Check drive line possibly a bad ujoint. How ever I had a similar problem with a 2005 century. It turned out it was bad king pins, so check them as well. Good luck
