Default Ongoing noise

Hi everyone,
I posted a little while back about some noise or vibration coming from my 03 D2 SE7. I have since thrown a lot of parts at it including front pads and rotors, new tires, new front hub assemblies, new front cv joints, new front driveshaft. It still makes the same noise of a rotational vibration above 15mph and gets faster with speed not rpms. It is now at the Indy rover specialist 40 min away and their tech couldn’t figure it out yet either and is waiting for a second opinion from another tech who is coming in to work today. This is my wife’s DD and she’s obviously worried about that. The noise has been unchanged throughout those repairs (which is maddening) and seems to be in the front end but it is hard to pinpoint. I don’t have a video or anything but has anyone experienced this or have any suggestions about what it might be? I’m feeling desperate. Thanks

I had a similar situation that drove me crazy. I replaced many things thinking it would help and it seemed nothing would work. It wasn't until I replaced the rear driveshaft with a double cardan unit from Tom Woods that the problem went away. I have a 3" lift though so maybe this isn't your issue.

I hear you on the rear driveshaft. It has occurred to me that it is time to swap it since I recently did the front. The flex coupling appears to be in good shape with no visible obvious damage but I am rolling stock height so it shouldn’t be that stressed. I have 115k miles on it so if that’s all it is I’ll be happy. I am slightly encouraged that an experienced LR tech at an Indy shop didn’t know what it was at first inspection either. Also have never had check engine lights on this truck except for minor stuff like “low engine temps” in the winter from an inline 180 degree thermostat. No TC lights or anything.
