So to cover a few things
Yes i have an SYE w/CV shaft
Yes i have been vibration free for a long time previous
No this isnt driveshaft related, or ujoint related, or exhaust related.
Also not steering or tire balance related (all these have been checked on)
i'm on an RE 4.5 w/33s D30/D44 combo
nothing has been changed or added to the jeep in the meantime since vibes began, so it has to be some part on its way out or out of whack
i took it for a 'spirited' highway ride and found the following:
-Its only harsh when im on the gas
-its only above 30-35
-its not really felt in the steering wheel or seat specifically at all until higher speed when it spreads
-its DEFINITELY front-end related.
-faster i go (65+) it gets intense
-my dash i can hear vibrating and as speed increases it spreads rearward and gets worse and worse with speed increase
-i can almost be sure i hear an almost faint 'pulsating' with the vibes that is in relation to tire spin speed when im off the gas and coasting
just for clarifications sake, this is not a wobble or any effect on handling,
its a harsh vibration - similar to when the front driveshaft ujoints are toast
its been suggested this may be wheel bearings? perhaps something else? just lookin for some more educated opinions before i go rip 'er apart in the cold. thanks guys
