I had a similar problem with my "A-Team" Van. I had the wheels balanced
on the vehicle, which was pretty expensive, but did *reduce* the problem
(although it never actually went away). If you do that (and I'm not even
sure where you would go to get it done), don't forget to make some
sort of mark so that you can replace the wheel in the same position
if you need to remove it.
Regards,
Chris.

Is the vibration in your butt or in the steering wheel? Could be a front end problem or a driveline problem or a wheel problem or even tho new a tire problem. stop and think when it started ... before new tires (?) before new driveline joints and support (?) or after tires (?) Front end ball joints make them goofy, right before they fall apart. Drive line indexing will make a vibration too (all of the u joints have to be in the same plane.

the vibration was in the truck, i replaced the tires joints or support,now weights on the drive shaft i never though of , bider 12, the vibe is in the butt ,it is not a shake it's a vibation only from 40 to 55 .it feels like a atight u joint it gets worse during a long drive.i guess it is back under the truck.
