Hello all,
I have a (98 Extended Cab 4x4 XLT) and whenever I go over any sort of bump or seam in the road like on the highway, there is a loud thud and then the cab starts vibrating really badly... I have searched the forums but can't find what it is. The vibration is not from the motor because I can press the clutch and be in neutral and it still makes the same vibration at the same frequency. The only way to get it to stop is it goes away on some bumps randomly then comes back about 3 seconds later and the other way is to put it in 4x4 High and then it stops vibrating too. As far as I can tell, the steering wheel vibrates just as much as the floorboards so I feel like it may be in the front wheels when spinning freely but not 100% sure its from the wheels.
Any suggestions or ideas of what it is or what to check would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!
