I fought this for 2 years, front hubs(they were bad), tires, rebalanced x 6, road force balanced, new discs all the way around, U joints, ball joints, you get the picture.

Bought a rear end from a cash-for-clunker car for 250 and that was the fix. I was going to replace the bearings, but there is 2 manufactures and the tag was missing. It was done in a night and was the best 250 spent.

Thanks for the reply Surgin. I will keep this in mind. Made the trip in one piece with no issues. I was hauling a two-place enclosed snowmobile trailer with my snowmobile and all of my belongings. While towing, I could get up to 66-68 before the vibration came on as described before. Is this any indication of what the problem could be? I will also be searching around my new location to find a place that does road force balancing.

Finally got a road force balance and it showed up as belt seperation. Im 2500 miles from the guy I bought my tires from. Called him up and if I was local, he'd be able to help me. But since I'm not (and I dont have warranty info) Ive got to try and get the place that did the balance to help me, or go straight to General Tire. There's about 1/2 tread life left. We'll see what happens.
