Default Ugg!!! New Vibration!!

Now I have a terrible vibration through the steering wheel. I mean my arms and *** feel like I'm getting a massage. Starts at around 30 mph and then seems to smooth out a little around 55 or 60 mph. I have replaced the transaxle, rotors, pads, and had the tires checked for balance. Any one have an idea? Also replaced the rear u-joint and rubber flange in the rear (rotoflex). I am at my wits end!!

Shot in the dark, have you checked your motor mounts? Got underneath and grabbed and checked steering arms and linkage?

Check your steering column UJ etc and also the drag and track control ball joints.

The only other possibility I can think of is the Cardan UJ's on the front drive shaft or possibly the rear shaft UJ and rotoflex coupling. Did you assemble the rotoflex coupling and bolts corretly?

Do you have the 3 amigos?

Front driveshaft would be the first place to look.

Is there any vibration at idle? Does the vibration increase/decrease with engine speed/rpms? I had a vibration recently that turned out to be a misfire that didn't throw codes. Replaced the wires and it went away.

Thanks for the help. There is no vibration at idle only moving down the road. And the vibration is continuous at those speeds. Have not had a chance to crawl under it yet. Hoping to tomorrow
