Re: 1989 GMC K5 Jimmy SLE Daily Driver

The old vibration issue!

I guess one question would be, is it in the wheel or on your backside (butt)? You can always try swapping the tires around (front to rear)to see if it's in the tires even though they are new (if in the wheel).

Would also suggest rolling all the windows down, get up to about 35mph, put it in "N", and turn if off and let it slow roll to a stop and listen very carefully. You could have a bad wheel bearing or a brake caliper.

Years ago, I had the same issue on a Landcruiser, took it into the shop told them I needed the drivers wheel bearing replaced. Was told after their test drive "It's not bad". After putting it up on the rack and using a scope to listen, they hear the bad spot in the bearing. No more vibration!
