Hi everyone,
I've been suffering this stupid vibration for a month now and it is really driving me nuts. I've read many posts on this but nothing seems to match the symptoms I'm having. anyhow, the truck is stock Ex 03 XLT with 195000 KM on it, it is exhibiting slight vibration with a hum at speed of 90Kmph up to 92 or 93 only then disappears. The vibration is felt on the floor, driver side only. now, i shifted to the passenger seat while someone was driving and felt the floor vibration at 60kmph then it disappeared. another symptom is accelerator pedal vibration at both 60 and 90. the steering feels a little bit vibrating but this has been there a while now (a year or so) and it feels the same at all speeds. front hubs are 35000 km old, front drive shaft is less than two years old, front half shafts were removed and lubricated last weeks, their boots are well sealed. at the same time with half shafts, i changed the four tires with the stock size (I'm using firestone 245/65/R17) with no improvement to the vibration. rear U-Joint sounds solid, no play in the rear drive shaft. one more thing, at speed of 90 i can hear the hum only in the driver seat and no were else, and recently (a day or two) started to hear a very slight rattle on the dash at 60 and 90.
i know I'm a bit sensitive to noise and all abnormal symptoms with this car, but it is really irritating especially it happens at the cruise speed on my way home daily.
does this sound familiar to any one? or can some one shed some light on how to proceed with the inspection?
thanks in advance!
