Hey guys,
I've owned a 1998 K2500 6.5L suburban for about 3 years now. Since I purchased it, I've had what I'd describe as a drive line vibration (seat of the pants, not in steering wheel, resonating) noise that I can't quite pin-point. I've replaced the u-joints, had the driveshafts balanced, and have installed a new transfer case tail-housing. That took care of some up-down slop from the tail shaft bushing. But the vibration persists.
Now I'm looking at the rear axle's/ hubs as the potential culprit. I don't know much about trucks, but I know I have the 14 bolt full floating rear end. From what I've read, it's unlikely the axle shafts would have been bent since they arn't loaded as much as compared to a semi-float. I've taken a video of the hubs spinning and can see a little wobble in them. Here's a youtube link:
What do you guys's think?
