I have noticed vibrations at 45mph+ that doesn't go away. Here's my train of troubleshooting. Checked transmission mounts they were fine. Had the driveshaft balanced, as well as 3 brand new u-joints, and center bearing. Vibration is noticable. Took wheels off, vibration still occured. Took the drums off, vibration still occured at same speed. Next inline I inspected wheel bearings: Tried to wiggle from side to side, no movement. Pulling the axle shaft (the thing with the wheel studs)straight forward, then pushing in, there's play. From what I can see, i'm able to pull it outward roughly 1/8th of an inch, maybe a 1/4 inch at most. The shafts seem to spin freely for the most part, however while spinning the shafts, I hear a noise coming from the shaft, sounds like a bearing making a ticking sound. If i put my ear on the cover, you can hear the sound inside there as well. What could my problem be? A Bad axles haft/wheel bearing? Also, One other thing, while the tires on the vehicle, you can see noticeable wobble. The tires are new, and balanced.
