01 Vibration
I have an 01 powerstroke. I get a vibration in the steering at 45 to 55 Mph. It does it with two different new sets of tires. Brand new front lock outs. Any ideas as to what it would be?

Most likely ball joints unless you meant you had those replaced when you had the "hubs" done. Some SDs are just bad at some speeds, but if the ball joints are good and the alignment has been done and wheels properly balanced, maybe a steering damper would be a good investment?

Well, I'm thinking that it may just "feel" like a steering vibration. Usually when the vibration occurs at a certain speed it indicates a u-joint is wearing out.
It may not be that, that's why I prefaced my comment with "I would guess".
