96 Shaking at 50Kph
Hi guys,
I have a 96 f150 300 six, 5 speed singlecab shortbox. It has recently started to shake when I hit speeds between 45-55 kph. I can feel the vibration through the steering wheel. I have recently changed the diff fluid as I hit 160,000K but that did not fix the problem. My tires are pretty crappy, and are due for a change to new winter tires when the weather gets a bit colder. They are looking a little flat so I may up the psi tomorrow to see if that helps. The vibration goes away after I hit 60kph. It only vibrates when I hit the gas in that speed range. Anyone know what this could be? Alignment? Balljoints? Ujoints? Any suggestions are welcome.

does it start to vibrate right after u shift up a gear?
my 95 did that too but at about 30km right after i shifted into 3rd gear so i waited a bit longer to shift up and it stopped but now it dont do it...mind you my truck sat fer 6 months before i got it so yeah...u-joints are usually heard at lower rpm range so listen for that try and figure out where the sound is commin from that will give you a good idea
