    Does it only do it when accelerating. Or does it also do it while decelerating?

    Also, what speed range does it do this... 40ish through 55ish?

    Can you feel the shaking/vibration more through the steerimg column or more through your feet and seat?

    It’s definitely from the rear.
    6 weeks ago. Shop replaced steers. Steers were fine when I went into petro. They demanded steers were problem. Now left steer is unbalanced. How did that happen? Doh! :biggrin_25523:
    Always had some bouncing from rear. Like I said: at 40 to 45mph. When it gets worse. I’ll have a little at 65mph. But no big deal.

    You may be surprised... What you think comes from the rear isnt always so. Could be several things in EITHER the rear or the front. I would be checking bearings to start with and drive line components to start.... That is if you feel it more through your feet and seat than you do through your steering column.

    It very well could be a driveline vibration. Unjoints and bearings will cause vibrations and they're hard to diagnose if whoever is doing it doesn't know what to look for.

    Got another good topic after being locked in the receiving office at winder ga.
    They had a paniac attack because the news said, “Tornado! Lock yourself up in lowest room!”
    They wouldn’t let me leave.. I just drove through 50-60 mile winds, down pour, and serious lightning storm.. but if its your tine to go, its time to go, hiding in the office will not help.
    So.. what if there’s a tornado??

    I’ve told them it feels much like when a U joint is bad.
    It does seem all anyone wants to do is talk. But not fix it. I ain’t getting any more violations or worse because a recap came off. I’ve been patient.
    Right now I’m thinking they’re considering just giving me a new truck. I’m still just waiting. If it’s all day again. I know my buddy will get me pay for it.
