The Blue Beast, formerly the rust bucket, has a new vibration problem.
91 Explorer 4.0 4WD
The problem: At any speed above 25ish I get a nice "VVVVUUURRRTTTT VVVVUUURRRTTT" vibration that I can both hear and feel. It goes in time with the vehicle speed, increasing almost to a steady humm at 60ish. I can feel it through the peddles and through the floor (I pulled the carpet and padding out awhile ago), and the passenger says that can feel it on their side as well.
What's changed: About 8 months ago I did a skyjacker suspension lift 2" and changed out the sway bars to a beefier option (changing back to stock soon I'm not fond of them). Then 3 weeks ago I installed 32" tires on steel wheels. About a week and a half later the vibration started.
What I've tried: I took the tires in and had them re-balanced (I knew the first place probably did a crap job) and they were wicked out of balance 2.75 on one tire, but that didn't change anything. I lubed up all of my fittings in the front, replaced the u-joints on the rear drive shaft, and checked my transmission fluid level (I'm getting desperate).
