    My 2011 Volvo D13 Engine with Ishift Tranny started vibrating. Its not so much vibrating as it seems more like back end is bouncing all over the place. It happends only with the speed between 55-60 miles with 58 miles being worst. Any other speed truck runs perfectly. Injectors were replaced so its not it ... plus rpm when it happends its steady, it doesnt jump. Air suspension, airbags, shocks, springs, and the whole driveline plus everything that has to do with suspension were checked and everything is ok there. Tires are all new all around. Any ideas what might be causing this

    Find a shop that spins the whole wheel unit. and find the ones that are out of balance, cheapest easy things 1st before taking wheels off to find a tire not on rim centered?

    Tire instalation was done by Pomps Tire. They checked it twice. Front wheels were balanced plus they did 3 axl alighment. You dont balance rear wheels but when they put them on the balancer they are all within the spec.

    If that shop cant do it look for a shop that can CK. the run/out on each tire untill you find the ones that are making it drive like it is. A shop that can spin each back wheel still on the brake drum will find the ones that start jumping, have someone in a car drive around the truck on all sides when no one is around till he sees the wheel that is jumping first at the speed it starts. then dismount the tires on that wheel, if you see that shop airing up your tires standing up right they arent on the wheel centered, have them lay them flat on ground or on a 5gal bucket so they will be mounted centered

    I said that they already checked it if it was centered and Balanced and everything seems ok thats why everyone is wondering where is it coming from

    I was at Pomps Tire again and they said they never heard of the stand to inflate tires laying down. They do all tires needs for local chicago Panske Ryder and Volvo dealers and they never had someone ask this. The guy looked at me like i just landed from the moon. He even showed me special stands that they use to inflate tires

    All is good at that shop, some shops will lean your tire on something and air it up that is what I said by standing them up, did they repair your truck so you can go make money?
