I can feel a vibe through the steering wheel and also feel it in the floor board. It is when cruising. When turning or under strain, it goes away. I've taken a quick look at the ujoints in the front driveshaft and have looked at the front drive axle shafts , everything seems fairly tight. Is there any common problem out there like wheel bearing failure or carrier bearings in front diff. Cant seem to pin point where the vibration is coming from , but its getting pretty bad. Thanks , Doug

Doug,
Do you have any mud caked in the inside of the wheels? It could be simple like that - causing wheel vibe.
Do you have a bent wheel?
You probably already checked all this - but I thought I would toss it out.

If is it not that - check the wheel bearings - it does sound like it might be that - but how many miles do you have?

hmmm...could be. Probably a tech would know more, but it might be a wheel bearing.

yes Phil , the front bearing is a timken . I'm going to press it apart and see if i can replace the bearing only. I dont see any need to waste all the other parts.
