I have a 2000 dodge durango thats all wheel drive with 4 wheel driver high and low it started to vibrate when speeding up from 45 then it keep vibrating untill u stop.i was told to change the spark plugs so i did and it still dose it i checked the drive shaft there is no play.any ideas will be helpfull
Would jack it up check for play in front wheels ( wheel bearings and driveshafts) would also check fluid in rear end the dodge rears are noted for leaking especially around the rubber plug. Vibration could be a number of things how ever if truck is a manual it could be clutch related issue just start doing a process of elimination of all rotating parts

Check your drive shaft u-joints..Number one cause.Have a great night!!!

Vibrations while driving like you are describing can come from tires that have defects (internally broken belts) (wheel weights that have fallen off) or a bent rim (perhaps from another driver [not you :-) ] hitting a curb) Are the tires worn? Have they been balanced and rotated regularly? You report no vibration in the steering wheel.
Vibrations during braking can be warped rotors or discs (but this doesn't sound like your problem since these kind are usually felt in the steering wheel during braking).
If and only if you feel like you can do this safely,
you can try getting the car up to 55, placing the car in neutral, then switching the "engine off" but leave the "key on" (be warned the power steering will go out but the vehicle can still be steered though the steering wheel will be much stiffer) if you try this (do it perhaps in a vacant parking lot or on an empty road) and the vibration goes away with the engine off but while the vehicle is still moving, then the vibration is engine or transmission related. If this is the case you might hope for maybe a bad engine mount. Bad engine mounts can be diagnosed with the vehicle stopped as well. However, if the vibration remains with the van moving forward but with the engine off, the vibration is likely a problem with the tires or suspension. Try to provide some more info.
If you don't feel comfortable trying the above suggestion, please take the vehicle in to an ASE certified suspension and steering professional for further diagnosis.
Finally, I had a similar situation happen to me today. I was riding with a friend in their van and the vehicle started vibrating more and more around 55 mph. We stopped and carefully checked the front tires (including the lug nuts for tightness) but
found a tire defect. (it had several broken steel belts that caused a bulge in the tire and thus the vibration) We changed the tire and the vibration was gone. Good luck to you.

Have a mechanic look at your front end. Find out what it is then fix it. could be ball joints,tie rods,rotors or a number of other things.Did your bearings go bad before this new set? could they have ruined the spindal or the hub?

sound like the u-joints in the driveshaft. Lay under the truck and where the u-joints are try moving the driveshaft up and down. If it moves then the u-joints are bed. This will cause a tremendous vibration under a load and the faster it spins it will smooth out.

just in the steering wheel
Normally vibrations that are felt while driving are balance issues with your tires. Do you feel the vibration in the your seat, steering wheel or both?
