Are you referring to the carrier bearing? If so, I've replaced that.
The transmission had a rebuilt unit installed last year and I trust the shop that did it would have caught a mount issue.

some drive shafts have an "intermediate" bearing about half way down the length of the drive shaft, then that is bolted to the frame.
DSK333 Thanks this. -

you may have all this done, but at anytime, were ALL the wheels checked for either out of round (true using a dial indicator?) or wobble as in even slightly bent?
DSK333 Thanks this. -
applies to cars mostly, but can lead to a diagnosis for you as well

you overlooked the muffler bearings and you're low on 5th wheel fluid

Only the front wheels have been balanced. The tandems have not.

I was all out of canned compression though and lost my blinker fluid.Txdriver77 Thanks this.

The Samson tires would be the first thing I would change. Get some good quality rubber and it will make a difference
DSK333 Thanks this. -
Make up your mind, at the beginning, you said all 10 wheels have been replaced and balanced, now your saying only the front 2 have been balanced, so which is it ?
Anyways..... if you have done all the above, what’s left is you might have and out of round tire. I had one and it would vibrate between 58 to 65 mph. The sad part was I couldn’t believe it was a USA brand tire. So that’s one option you can look into. The other would be the angle of the driveline. That would cause a vibration as well. You said you check the air bags height, beware that they are several heights specifications available, depends on the suspension you have.
