Trembling...

On my 2004.5 I am getting a sort of trembling vibration from the right front wheel area when travelling about 35 MPH or thereabouts.

I thought it might be the wheel as I did hit a rather large bump recently, however I put the front wheel on the back and the vibration is still felt.

The tires are new and the wheels are all balanced and the truck has new
ball joints, new universal joints in the front end as well as all the joints replaced in the drive shaft.

There is no noise heard but the vibration is very noticeable in the cab.

It has never had the front bearings changed.

The truck has about 75,000 miles on it and it well maintained.

Thanks

can u jack the front end & roll the wheel by hand-might be able to feel if the bearings are loose/fractured?

Check the shocks.

My buddy had a similar situation with a '97 1/2 ton Ram...

The bushing where the mounting bolt goes through was gone.
