Did you have new u-joints installed CORRECTLY... the drive line balance is tricky... try rotating the drive shaft 180*.. ALSO - you can rotate the drive shaft one (transmission) spline at a time (you have to remove the drive shaft each time) - (with the rear wheels OFF the ground so you can rotate the rear end a "spline" each time..its TIME consuming!!


Was the "new" driveshaft a NEW one or a used one?... take it back to the company that did the work, take the boss for a ride and show him what his "new" driveshaft is causing.

Testimonial: "Had new driveshaft & joints installed by Brooks Motors, new shaft is worse than the one that came on truck, truck only has 31,000 miles"

Driving between 35-50 mile ph truck will start vibrating

There are many stages of vibration. The most common is in the steering and USUALLY a steering dampner will correct this. However, your description is not real defined and until the technician actually experiences it, it cannot be properly diagnosed

Jeep liberty problems

3 things that i know of that could cause vibration noise that starts/stops at speeds. 1- The tires, either they need balancing, or they got used up irregularly and "bounce" on the pavement. 2- drive shafts are damaged (dented, waved), dirty, or need balancing. It happens from time to time that the weights the solder on the shafts to balance them at the factory just fall off due to rotation and rust and all, and just a good clump of baked on dirt can also unbalance the shafts. 3- U-Joints that need replacing don't let the shafts move freely and tend to make them vibrate. If that is the problem, you can replace the u-joints with new ones using a few tools to remove the snap rings and a hammer or vice to press the u-joints out of their sockets. Also i do believe the front end on a liberty is made basically like a FWD and has 2 half shafts to drive the wheels, and the joints in those can also be done for and need replacing, although half shafts don't have u-joints and aren't really serviceable so if the problem is there you will need to replace the whole half shaft. Hope this helps.

VIBRATION IN F250 AT 1500 RPM WITH NO DRIVE SHAFT IN

Your flexplate and/or torque convertor are out of balance.
If recently replaced it should be a warranty issue.
By your testing you have determined it's transmission related.
I have seen new/rebuilt torque convertors be balanced incorrectly.

Drive shaft bearings

Do you mean u joints because there is realy not a bearing in the driveshaft so to speak But the u joints have neddle bearings in the yoke You need to unbolt the drive shaft from the rear cairrer then pull it back out of the transmission tail stock it will laek some oil you can take a plastic bag and a couple of rubber bands and seal that up Then take the shaft out from under the vehicle to some place you can work on it like a bench but when you remove the shaft make sure you mark it its weighted and needs to go back in the same way or the balance will be off and it will viberate at certion speeds There small c clips that need to be removed from the out side of the bearing caps then you can press or drive the oid yokes out a little head helps something propane torch you don,t have to worry about the old ones When there out this is the tricky part you need to remove two of the caps from the new joint oppiste sides there pregreesed and the bearings will stay inside of them slide one cap into the drive shaft then slide the u joint yoke into the cap from the inside and gentle puessit on the yoke then do the same with the other side of the cap on the oppiste side of the driveshaft you can use a large c clamp to press them into pisition install the new clips and gresse if the unit has a gresse fitting and you will save a lot of money if you can do this Then install but make sure you put in the same side up as you took it out
