vibration in truck

I have a 01 ford ranger it has a vibration when driving done the road at 55/60 miles per hour. The problem is that it the vibration goes away once your foot is taken off the gas pedal. bearings, tierod ends, and tires appear okay.. any thoughts other equipment to check???

Block your wheels, and check the U-joints in the driveline. Also check for road debris wrapped around driveline.

i experienced a similar problem with my '94 ranger. the u-joint caps for the rear drive shaft were loose. the center carrier bearing was bad which was causing enough drive shaft vibration to loosen the u-joint caps.

a friend of mine has a 98 ranger 4.0 auto 2wd and he had a bent driveshaft that was causing a bad vibration.. it also ripped the rear tranny seal and leak fluid.

The first place to look, and least expensive is to have the wheels balanced. When you have this done, the wheel/tire technitian will notice if the allignment is the problem and bring it to your attention.
