this past week I noticed a vibration and grindin noise under my feet while drivin, so I changed out both hubs figurin might as well do em both before the other goes out and after I did it I still feel a vibration under my feet. just on the drivers side though. any ideas of what it could be? I've read it could be cv axles but don't want to dive off into anything unless I know or sure

could be a bad tire. rotate them and double check.

country_09

rotated them already the day after and it's still vibratin...so idk what it is

RacerX

vibrating on accel, coast or decel?

gotstylez

might see if your transfercase is still is 4wheeldrive...... the front driveshaft will cause a vibration..

country_09

it vibrates on all accel coast and decel from about 15-65...I put it in 4wd and it doesn't get louder it's about the same

gotstylez

when i say stuck in 4wd i mean the transfercase is stuck all the time. meaning the front shaft is always turning ( in 4x4 or not) you get simply get under and see if u can turn the front shaft.. if it turns.. this rules out the transfercase and front drive shaft.. have u checked your bearings? i have seen some go bad in a few days after installed.. thats about the only things i can think of!.. hope you get it figured out

Like Dave says crawl under the car looking at the front axle, look for busted boots or great gobs of grease in the most conspicious places.

Let me ask you how long have you had this noise? And how long have you had these tires? A bad alignment can ruin the tread on a set of tires making them choppy, cupped or scuffed. That can cause that vibration and grinding noise, especially since you dont have normal 17, 18, all terrain tires. You have 33s, right? You look at that tire tread and I bet that is where your noise is coming from.

I think it is your tires bro...

I'll check out the front axle when I get out of class...and I plan on gettin an alignment tomorrow so I'm hopin that will help. as for checkin the cv's could it just have grease anywhere or cracks I'm guessin? never messed with a cv on my truck but have done everything else

RacerX

With a CV all the grease SHOULD BE INSIDE THE BOOT. If its outside then the boots are bad and you tend you get massive vibrations upon acceleration(when the axle is in use like a FWD fulltime car).
