Wheering noise

VIBRATION FROM THE DRIVELINE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS

I have a 04 F150. Having a wheering noise on higway and streets may be connected to tires or wheels. Changes along with speed. Seams a little louder than my guys F150 2005. 36thousand mi. Son has to go 600 mi befor I can have it checked. Should I worry?

i would definitely have it checked out. one thing that is easy to check is the driveshaft. make sure the bolts are tight. mine backed out on the mustang and caused a similar problem.

check the pinion gear nut for looseness. Mine backed off and caused a similar noise. Just grab the rear yoke and see if it moves up and down. It feels similar to a loose ujoint so you have to get under there and see if the shaft moves.
