Hey Folks,
Wanted to get some input on a vibration I'm getting in the seats of my Explorer. It will start mildly at 45mph and becomes pretty annoying at 55mph. Around 80 its quite noticeable. The wheels have been balanced a few times in the last 10000 miles, most recently about 1500 miles ago. 1500 miles ago the tires were also checked for roundness and runout as well as rotated with no noticeable difference in vibration. I get 0 vibration in the steering wheel. Its more noticeable if i'm sitting in the 2nd row instead of driving. Also if you are on a rougher road its pretty hard to tell its there but as soon as you get on a nice smooth road its annoying as hell. I tried putting the car in neutral at 60mph and there was no change so I'm assuming I can dismiss engine/tranny problems.
Anyone have any idea what I could be looking at here? I know these are prone to having brakes dragging but would that cause a vibration? I'm assuming its coming from the rear of the car as I get no vibration in the wheel. Driveshaft problem maybe? I'm hoping to get it in the shop in the next couple of days while I still have 3/36 left. I only have about 3k left.
Any and all input is appreciated!
