Under acceleration or load I have a vibration that I can feel through the steering wheel. Let off the accelerator and it goes away. It feels like a tire out of balance but it's not the tires. Maybe u-joints in the front driveshaft or a CV joint? Any ideas appreciated. This is a 2000 Durango 5.9 AWD with 113,000 miles on it.
It's my wife's car and when she got home tonight I drove it again. The transfercase shifter vibrates at the same speed as you can feel through the steering wheel so I'm thinking it's in the front driveshaft. Like I said before letting off the throttle, the vibrations go away.
I'm pretty sure it is not the rear shaft. The steering wheel vibrates and it only does this accelerating, let off the throttle and it goes away. It does this from 20 -60mph with 50mph being the worst.
