'slight' vibe on acceleration(?)

    I have a stock 95 yj. I've had a 'slight' vibe on acceleration between 30 and 45 mph. It got much worse about 2 months ago. I had both u-joints in the rear drive shaft changed, after that it got a lot better. I still have the 'slight' vibe from 30 to 45, and a droning noise at highway speeds. Any thoughts? Maybe the DS is out of balance?? I'm guessing it can't be the front DS, I don't think it moves in 2wd.


    Any help would be appreciated :tup:.

    well if its stock, and you have a vibration, is it in the front end? where does it feel like its at?


    usually MPH associated shimmys are due to alignment/tire balance/bad tread on the tires, or something along those lines.


    when was the last time you had an alignment? or new tires/or whats the tread on your tires/ when was the last time you rotated them and balanced them

    Tread seems good. I don't feel it in the wheel, I can't tell where it's coming from. It stops if I take my foot off the gas. I'll do rotation tomorrow to see if it changes how it feels. I guess if that doesn't change it, next will be balance, then alignment, then up the cost scale form there..

    yeah I'm really not sure what else it would be, if its stock and its a Daily Driver and you dont go out and slam it up hills or into mud holes. Just try the basics first.. like you said.. cost friendly.
