Possible driveshaft/universal joint issue... Suggest having 'old school mechanic' test drive... One that's been doing it a good while! .. There a distinct difference in the vibration - rhythm/frequency - from tire to driveline..

Thanks, I will have that checked if problem hasn't been solved. Front brake pads were thin. Back still had wear left. Changed out both. Pulled all 4 rotors to turn. Both front & rear had warped rotors. Opted to replace all 4. Rides like new. Have not driven on hyw yet.

hello, yes, it could be a u joint, or you may need our custom tire balancing. I would be glad to test drive the vehicle to see what is the problem. randy field randalls autohaus
