I just did a recent fairly major road trip (los angeles to canada and back) and during the course of the trip started experiencing a progressively worse vibe condition when I hit around 50MPH - though it seems to max out around 52 (prolly 55MPH corrected for my 31" tires). Anyway... I'm PRETTY sure it's not the driveshaft U Joints.. as I checked the rear and it seemed very solid. The one thing that IS disconcerting is that after the proverbial tire kick test I noticed a bit of play in what I assume are my front knuckles... though it could be a tire balancing thing - as my XJ was sitting for about a year and a half and this is the first solid use it's got in some time (thinking maybe the tire rubber on the AT's re-settled somehow).
Here's my kit (adding anything relevant I can think of):
• 92 XJ with 98 HO
• flaming river steering shaft
• AGR modified steering gear & super pump
• OME heavy duty lift kit
• BFG AT KO's 31x10.5 (the right front was balanced with a suspiciously huge load on one side!)
• JKS HD tie rod
• cant' recall if the track bar is std or modified (jks etc)
• OME shocks
• standard sport package diffs (D30/D35) wth limited slip on D35
• AX-15 five speed transmission w/centerforce clutch
Well that's about all I can think of... the vibe is entirely dependent on my 'road speed' as opposed to RPM so I don't think it's engine/mount related... I'm thinking it must be something post-transmission though...
