Will probably be worth trying to balance tires,because buying all new drives will be expensive.Oldironfan Thanks this.
-
We'll defenetly try that and align truck
-
Also, is you suspect the tires to be out of round or have a hop to them, its not a bad idea to take the tires to a big tire retread shop and let them put them on a milling machine. It will true them up and make them round again. Alot of work, but worth it in the end if the tires arent junk.
Youd be surprised how much rubber they shave off of a new bridgestone or michillen tire sometimes. -
Wow thanks thats good to know, we will look into that

Also check your carrier bearing.
Mattflat362 Thanks this. -
Check all your engine Mounts.
if they're worn? When under load the torque twist of the motor can alter your driveline angles causing driveline shudder/vibrations..
Ask me how I know this...lolOldironfan and Mattflat362 Thank this. -
Yup checked it its good
-
They changed the engine mounts when they installed new engine a month ago.. so how do you know this lolhaycarter Thanks this.

I can tell you first hand that a Double Star tire won't last very long without failure on a spread axle trailer (front).
