99 Blazer ZR2. Could a stuck E-brake cause a bad vibration. It did not start until I press it in on Sat 2-20. There was no vibration before that. I have read throught alot of thread and will check the U-joints. It has a new CV joint. any suggestion.

could happen, it doesn't take that long to inspect your brakes, and while your back there, see if the U-Joints have any play in them. Did the vibration start right after you pressed the E-brake? or changed the CV? a few other thoughts are unbalanced wheel, broken belt in one of the tires or a warped rotor

The guy I got the truck from put the new CV joint in about 1 1/2 month before i got it. And yes the vibration just started this past weekend after I presse the E brake. and the tires were balanced 2 weeks ago.

when you check out those brakes and U-joints, and hopefully find the problem, let me know what you find.

Did not get a chance to look at it today do to all the snow we got. But drove it home from work a different way and went down a bumpy road to see what would happen. When I got to the smooth road the vibration was gone. So I got on it. Got it up to 75 mph and let off the gas and it made a sound like a prop eng airplane dive bombing then the vibration was back. The sound was coming from the front passenger wheel. Leading me to believe it is either the belt in the tire of the wheel bearing. Hoping I can get into a garage and look things.
