Weird Vibration?

I have a 95 F-150 and when Im either coasting or accelerating around 40-45 mph the front end vibrates for about 2 seconds and then it stops. It's been doing it on and off but it is happening more often now. What might be the cause of this? Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Blaze

It's not in the engine. The source of the vibration is somewhere between the transmission output shaft and the wheels. If it was in the engine, it would occur at specific rpms, not specific speeds.

Do you feel it in the steering wheel?

Take care,
-Chris
