I have a 97 Exploder. Suddenly last nite when i started to drive I felt a vibration. Its really bad around 35mph accelerating. If I let off the gas then it not as bad. The vibration get faster with speed but is worse at 35. I have ruled out loose wheels, tranny, engine. Im thinking possibly transfer case or driveline. I have redone the transfer case with the new cases for the shift fork bushings. This vibration feels to be in the rear area. Anyone have any ides or things I should check before I start dismantling it. Thanks in advance.:exp:
 






Sounds like u-joints.
 






Thats kind of what I was thinking after reading more on here. Any ideas on the easist way to check them??
 






disconnect the shafts, and see if the joints move freely or do they bind, sized.
