any idea whats causing shaking/vibrating
Just a few days ago i noticed my truck starting to shimy and shake like a tire is out of round. It only happens around 10 mph, its just a little bit during acceleration and more while slowing down. but only just above and below 10 mph. Its the same if braking or coasting and also no difference in gear or out(my trucks a manual). My tires are in good shape and the truck is in excellent mechanical condition, exept for the shaking. My truck is an2003 F350 7.3 6spd with a leveling kit up front in the form of an add a leaf. Tires are 315-75-r16 toyo open country mt. Its got 76000 miles and the ball joints were replaced with greaseable ones at 60000. Other than that its all stock. I made sure it wasnt in 4wd and the hubs not locked in. The truck only get used every week or two for towing my boat and camping/hunting a few times a year. My car took a crap so im driving it to work and thats how i noticed it a few days ago. I thought u-joints but wouldt that be constant or get worse as speed increased. Anybody have any thoughts on this or had a similar experience. Hope i gave enough info, if not let me know and i will try and describe it better. Thanks

This is a very very long shot but... my old 99 did the same thing and my power steering fluid was low. Dont ask me why it did, that but it did. The brake pedal also shook bad but only when it got under 15mph. A few days later my pump went out completely. Sorry that pry wasnt any help so, heres a Bump!

Thanks for the reply, I checked my fluid levels and they are good. And i havent noticed any feedback through the pedals. A little through the steering wheel but thats probably because the whole truck is shaking. Any body have any ideas, Thanks.
