im new posting stuff here and my 96 ram 4x4 has a weird vibration when im slowing down to stop and when im starting to move again. it starts at like 25mph and gets kinda worse at like 5-15 mph, i have no idea so please help thanks

 

welcome to df. go to "user cp" up in the top left and fill out your signature with your truck info. is the vibration only when braking ? if so its probably warped rotors.

 

In addition to warped rotors, out of round rear drums will also cause a bad vibration.

 

brakes/rotors are all less than 2 months old, and it does it when im not even stepping on the brakes, first i thought it was a bad u-joint so i checked all them and one that was bad so replaced it but it didnt change it...

 

did it just start out of the blue ?

remove wheels and check the tires carefully for bulges, knots, funny indentions, etc. my old chevy did that once and i had a knot coming up on one tire. air got in between the belts or something. at low speeds the steering wheel would saw back and forth.

if that doesn't show anything, rotate front tires to rear and see if that changes anything.

the last time my u-joints in the rear drive shaft went out, it started with a clicking for a couple of days, then a bad vibration. check those. should be no play at all.

 

Have you run over anything? Check the front wheels also to see if one of them might be warped. If you could get the truck up on a lift somewhere, it would sure make it easier to diagnose this problem. You didn't say if this just started all of a sudden or what?

 

it first started as a little shimmy that wasnt that bad than it just gradually got worse, i will check my tires and rotate them and see if that makes a difference. thanks

 

How bad is it? I have had the "Death Wobble" (feels like the tires are gonna come off and if you look at them, by sticking your head out of the window, they appear to be coming off lol) on two of my trucks (84 Dodge W300 w/ 38" TSL's and 03 Jeep Wrangler with 32" BFG's).
