Vibration?

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 02-Apr-02 AT 11:16 PM (EST)]I have a vibration that surfaces around 60km and again at 100-110km and up. The vibration seems to be originating in the rear (can't feel it in the steering wheel just the seat and floor). It has been present since lifting my truck. The truck has had new ball joints installed, front axle u-joints, radius arm bushings, two alignments, and the tires have been balanced twice. Today I had the axle pivot bushings checked, checked the tranny crossmember and mounting bolts (all tight), put on different tires, had the driveshaft balanced and rear axles pulled to check diff and axles. All appear fine and the vibration persists. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Turbo.

Check your driveline angles. this could be the culprit. also check that the driveline was installed the same as it was removed.

Check the rear-most U-joint on the driveshaft. If I'm right, I bet one pivot (out of the four) will have ~ 1mm to 3mm of play in it.
