F250 strong vibration between 40-50 mph
Shakes or Wobbles problem
1997 Ford F250 V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic 196K miles
I have a strong vibration between 40 – 50 MPH. I have had the tires rotated and balanced. I changed my tie-rods - they were original and very loose. I checked and repacked my front bearings, and had the font end aligned. During the alignment, the mechanic told me my vibration was my carrier bearing, so I changed it and the U-joints. They were also original, so I’m not too upset about changing them, but I still have this vibration. Do you have any thoughts?
Thanks,
C
