Anyone experience a shaking in the rear of their dump truck when driving? I have 8 brand new tires and truck still vibrates. My axles do not adjust so I do not know what the causes could be. Any ideas from dump truck owners who experienced this please.

If it started with the new tires, give it a minute. I've had new drives be all over the place until they break in.
Bucman Thanks this. -
Drive line angle? Driveshaft support bearing or insulator? Bent hub, bent rim. Drive axle alignments are off.
I would start by inspecting driveshaft carrier.
Than jack up drive axle in the air, release brakes and check for out of round wheels and hubs. -
Also are you sure it’s rear end that vibrates? I had 2 Michelin steers that were old and causing steering wheel to shake, had some uneven wear and a started to dry rot. I replaced them with 2 new ironman steers( waste of $1200) Same shaking/vibration on steering wheel. Did alignment,(nothing changed). Than steers started to wear funny, probably because it’s cheap china.
So I replaced with Bridgestones and put centramatics and all the shaking and vibration went away. I was amazed how much of a smoother ride I got from decent new steers.
