Vibration problem
I know I haven't posted anything in awhile, and I hate to come back asking questions, but this one has got me stumped.
The tires on my Dak were getting pretty skinny and I had attributed my vibration problem to tires/alignment because it was pretty much chewing the outside edges off my tires. So I get new tires, get an alignment, and I still have a bad vibration. Its the worst when you get it to 50 or 55 the first time, but at any speed above 35 it rides pretty rough. I feel like I wasted $400

Could be an out of round tire. A u-joint vibration compared to a wheel/tire problem would be a much faster vibration. Could also be a bent drive shaft from an improperly placed lift arm at the garage - I've done it. Does the vibration seem to be the same as tire rotation or does it seem a lot faster? If your tires are new, you can drive down a gravel road and you'd probably pick up a rock in one of your tires. When you pull back onto a paved roadway you might be able to hear the rock hitting the road and get a good idea around 35 mph whether the vibration compares to the sound of the rock or if it's a lot faster. Sounds stupid, but I just got a new pair of Michelins and they usually sling a rock or 2 after driving in gravel. If it's faster it's probably a drive line component since they spin much faster than the tires do.
