Vibration at 70mph

Well it's been a while since I have been here. My Ex has started a vibration in the front but I don't feel it in the steering wheel. I feel it in the floor board on my feet. It also makes a sound with the vibration. Kinda a thumping sound but not really. If that makes sense. I plan on putting it up on jacks this weekend and checking the front. I'm wondering if it is a hub stuck in locked portion and spinning the axle. I did use 4wd not too long b4 I noticed it.

Just wanted to see if anyone else has had th same and can point me in a specific location to look. Tks in advance guys!!!

Maybe a u-joint. Would likely be felt farther back but just another thought.

I have a similar issue, but no thumping. It starts vibrating at 70mph, the front and 2nd row seats are vibrating and very little in the steering wheel. I had the tires rotated and balanced but didnt help. I have been searching and reading a lot to see what is the best "start" to fix it. I think I going to start with U joints.

Easy test would be rotate tires front to back and see if the vibration changes.
