Question Vibrating

I have a '94 F-150 4x4 with 107,000 miles on it, I had a bad vibration in my front-end awhile ago so I replaced my radius arm bushings and my lower ball joints because they were shot. I've drove with the new parts for about 2 weeks and my truck is just now starting to vibrate again around 60mph. It really feels like it is in my front-end. What else should I check? My upper ball joints are fine so I'm stuck on what else it could be. I know my alingment is out but I wouldn't think that it would cause my truck to vibrate like that, would it? I really need to find out what is making my truck do this because I'm getting ready to buy some new tires and I want them to last awhile. Thanks for any help.

Cool

Where do you feel the vibration, in the steering wheel or in the seat ??? Generally if you feel it in the steering wheel then it is in the front of the truck and if it is in the seat then it is in the rear of the truck. When was the last time that you had your tires balanced ???

Have Fun & Keep on Truckin'

I feel the vibration in the whole truck…I’m thinking that the vibration is coming from my tires because they are not wore evenly due to my ball joints going out and me not replacing my ball joints immediately. I think I’m just going to get 32”x11.50” BFG MT T/A KM and put them on my new 15”x10” Eagle Alloy 589 wheels and then get my truck aligned and see how it rides then. Thanks for the help…any other ideas?

i was thinking the balancing also. if your alignment is off and the tires are worn off unevenly, then just make sure you get the alignment right after you get the new tires on. good luck!

Some more things to consider would be your universals. Had
very small movement in them around 50,000, related to a
nasty vibration.

Another time had vibration at mid throttle, Dealer told me I
needed a new torque converter. Changed the fluid and been
treated good for 91,000 miles.

Good luck
