Default vibration in floor.

I have an 05 dakota 4x4 with an automatic trans. the truck has wrangler A/T tires on it. when driving i can feel a vibration through my feet on the floor not the steering wheel. it gets worse when i corner. I replaced all the ball joints and its still there. I'm currently leaning twards CV joints because the wheel bearings seem fine. anyone have a similar issue?

I can't see how ball joints would cause a vibration in the floor. Does is got worse or better with speed or only happen at a certain speed? I would start with a tire rotation and balance. Must vibrations can be attributes to that. Or u-joints on the rear drive shaft.

I had a rear u-joint go out that caused all kinds of vibrations all the time. Try rotating tires first see if the vibration moves somewhere else.
