Vibration 60 mph+

My 99 F-150 4x4 has a vibration at 60+ mph. New u-joints, balanced driveshaft, rear end rebuilt 2 years ago. I do know my front C/V axles are bad. Very noisey in 4 wheel drive. Would that caues a vibration even in 2 wheel drive?

Hopefully when I replace them will solve problem?

that may solve your problem,

I doubt this is it but do you have all your lugs? even though the lugs may be tight enough, if one is missing this could the source of your problem

The CV's being bad can cause vibrations all the time. They are always spining.

The CV's are unlocked in the differential housing from the drive shaft. So yes Bad CV's will cause vibs.

Ball joints will not cause vibrations. It will cause clunks when you hit bumps in the road.

My money is on the CV's. Why do you think they are bad anyways.
