Shaking front end
I have a 2001 Durango SLT 4x4 with a 5.9L
Front end just started shaking at 40mph. If I let off the gas it stops. I rotated the tires. No change. I put the whole vehicle up on jack stands and put it in drive. All the shaft are tuning nicely. Nothing looks warped or out of balance. The front left tire doesn't spin unless I give it gas. I tried to rock the tires in and out but there is no play in them. The front drive axles are tight, the boots are not torn. I am at a lose ( not that it takes much ). Any ideas are appreciated!
thanks,
jim

I'm not sure, but maybe your drive shafts have weights on them. Rotate the drive shafts and see if there's any fresh mark on them that looks out of place.
Then I'd be looking at the motor and transmission mounts.
