Yup. This just started to happen, but a little back story.. I went on a driving trip this summer, and put about 500 miles n the truck. During that time I kinda' noticed a slight rumbly sound when slowing down on the highway off ramp. But then last night I had about a hour drive, and once I hit 60-70 mph, the vibration was huge. It never did this before. The coins in the console would chatter, and the seat of pants vibration was strong.
Once I slowed down to about 45, it went away for the most part. I didn't feel it in the steering wheel, so I'm chalking it up to something in the rear. BTW, I did my U joints recently, so that is ruled out.
I'm thinking rear wheel hubs, but I'm not certain. I haven't had a chance to jack up the rear and at least give the wheels a wiggle test, but any info on this would be appreciated.
