Default Driveline Vibe

Between 65 and 70 MPH I get a rotational vibe, only at these speeds though, I can feel it mostly in the pedal. Has anyone come across this before? I almost dread taking to the dealer.

Thanks

Gary

My suspension is stock.

I'll grease everything up and see what that does.

This is one of my concerns, I'm getting ready to lift it and if I already have a driveline vibe how bad will it get after I lift it.

My '06 needed it's second center u-joint at 105K, the first one was under warranty and it got a new drive shaft. Second time I paid for it and I took it to a local shop who replaced the AAM designed shaft u-joint and rebalanced the shafts. No issues so far (though it's only been about 6K or so since then).

Installed my lift, new tires and rims = no more vibe. My guess would be mine was tire related.
