Universals shouldn't have any noticable play in them. And a vibration is usually the first sign of failure :wink:

Uni's for the driveshafts are really cheap new and easy to fit also.

Tires are like boobs, they always look big until you have played with them for a while, then you just want a bigger set.

Only real place they can come from is CV joints.

Have you checked CV's

hey year i checked them and one is buggerd and alot of play in the axle and the other one has a split boot grease everywhere haha was the first time i took this truck out to and she crapped out .. there is no viabrating yet .. so it could possibly just be the universal ??
