Vibration at high speed

1st, let me say, this forum rocks! I got alot of good info for my last Ranger (96 xlt 4-banger 5-speed stick).

As you can see it's been a while since I've been here, but I knew where to come to with questions about my new Ranger (01 extend cab xlt 4x4 4.0 ltr).

Anyway, here is the deal. I already found a fix for my 1st problem about the drive shaft slip yoke. Thanks!

What I need help with is a rolling (rear to front) vibration at aprox. 80mph and 3000rpm. I can feel it in the seat, not in the wheel or the peddel. If I take my foot off the gas, it subsides.

I'm wondering if it will go away after regreasing the slip yoke.

J.

After driving it some more on the highway, There is a vibration at lower speeds also, although it is very light, and I can feel it a little through the wheel.

The wheel is slightly off to the left. If I let go, it pulls ever so slightly to the right. I'm wondering if maybe the allignment is out a bit, or maybe the toe.

At any rate, I'm going to have the tires re-ballanced.
