Vibration 97 Pickup 4x2

[Randy]

I have a vibration in my truck and can't pin it down. I have replaced
all the tires and had a machanic check the drive shaft and rear end.

I know I use to have to replace a stablizing bar in my older 92
pickup. Does the 97 still have a stablizing bar, could this be a
source of the problem? Top and bottom ball joints were replaced last
year. 182.000 miles on this one.

Thanks for any help.

How much, where, and what type of vibration?
A continuing vibration, or one that comes and goes under certain conditions?
Yes, it does have a stabilizer bar in front, and none in the rear, but a
stabilizer bar would not cause a vibration.

Check your motor mounts.

Usually, while revving the engine, the engine will lift and then clunk
down. Have someone rev the engine while you look in the engine bay.
