Vibration

[Jeepfam79]

I have a droning type vibration that starts at 50 and stops at 60. I feel it in the wheel and floorboards. I’ve tried two sets of wheels and tires. It does not feel like a tire, more like a driveshaft or something mechanical. At times it’s pulsating every few seconds. Any ideas?

Something wheel related would be a pretty consistent thump about 10 times a second at those speeds. Driveshaft would be about a quarter of that so still 2-3 times a second. Do you feel the vibration in the floor and seat or the steering wheel more?

I've got the same thing. it's kinda driving me crazy.

I’d say both equally

My bet is drive shaft and/or Rzeppa joints.

I had a driveshaft replaced on a JKU once, which I had to fight FCA over because the first dealership saw scrapes on my skid plates and claimed "abuse" and the second dealership had to spend a week going back and forth with FCA to get approval to replace it with guaranteed reimbursement. What a pain.
