Front end Vibration

[Michaelolson88]

Hello all,

Have a first time problem on my 99’ ford ranger xlt 4x4 4.0. Today out of nowhere my truck started to shake violently at high way speeds and continued to do so until I pulled over. It felt as though I was running over turtles or like I had a flat tire so I pulled over and looked around and didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary. Got back on the freeway and seemed fine until about a mile down the road and did it again at about 60mph and didn’t stop shaking until I stopped. I got back on the freeway and didn’t go over 50 and the vibration didn’t occur again. Any thoughts on this? I definitely wouldn’t have been able to keep driving unless I had pulled over and made sure not to go back over 50. All help would be greatly appreciated. The only newish thing recently was had my tires rotated about 2 months ago
Update: had an alignment and wheels balanced but am still getting the same problem now at lower speeds. Same thing I stop and it goes away and only starts again once I reach 35. Could it be hub assembly or cv axle?ball joints and tie rods look good. It’s a really intense vibration and not safe at all.

You already have a thread going with this same issue.

Do you really need another? It is the same problem right?

It's best to just post in the original thread which moves it back to the top of the list.

Sorry I’m new to the site. I wasn’t sure if it was more relevant in this forum now that I don’t believe it is a wheel issue. Didn’t think it would be a big deal to post here.

It really isn't a problem... the site would live on.

But for people trying to help you... it's way better to keep everything in one place. With two posts... much of it is just duplicated input. It also makes it better for people trying to search for answers to problems they're having.
