Quick Question

Hey Guys,

Quick Question, im getting a vibration noise in my 97 f250 psd and was wondering if only at like 60-75ish it could be because im out of alignment? My truck tends to pull to the right. Could this be the cause of the vibrationing problem??

4x4? if so are your hubs in? Tire wear? If it pulls to the right sounds like you need an alignment anyway....

No alignment issues won't cause vibrations. More than likely you have tires that are out of balance.

Had a vibration problem that turned out to be the tire itself. The belt in it was broke. Found that out after checking the rim and balancing. If you hit something hard like a pot hole you can damange the tire and it can cause vibration. Do you feel a vibration or just hear a vibration noise?

i have had two sets of tires on the truck, right now i have a bfg all terrain. It is a 4x4 and i have auto locking hubs. I have replaced the u joints in the rear driveshaft. I did not replace the carrier bearing yet though...because my truck is extended cab i have a carrier bearing... i have done nothing with the front end. When i got the new tires i did get them balanced and the truck was supposedly alligned, personally i think they did a crappy job...i went in there a half hr before they closed on a friday afternoon and i dont think they gave it the time of day.
