rear stabilizer bar causing vibration ???

I 'm having a vibration it is bad between 40 and 50 and only when excellerating and under a load it is twice as bad the u joints and the carrier bearing are fine and the alignment is just a little off but it's a whole separate sound. the stabilizer rods and bushings are bad and wiggle could this be causing the vibration

i don't think it would the stabilizer bars causing issue, but if they are worn out they need replacing. check your leaf spring hangers and shackles.

they are creaking and squeaking a lot and I've been throwing a lot of miles in the last 2 months I'm getting ready to pull over to check these out I guess I'll just looking to see if they're loose

the hangers could be broken and if they are original there is a good chance they are broken. let me find some pics of mine.

I'll check it tomorrow and get back 250. How about the torque converter. Will they vibrate?

buy or make a new one, metal that is being used for that purpous likes to flex alot and become impossible to weld. you just cut the large rivets off and punch them out. reinstalling with grade 8 and lock tight.
