shaking is driving me crazy!!

got a 93 toyota truck 4x4, new shocks front and back, custom built driveline, new tires , used set of aluminum rims, balanced and rebalanced, rotate tires, rotate tires on rims, front end gut says it's tires or rims, got a road force balance for 100.00 it helped a little, been dealing with this for two years, if I could sell it I would but who is going to buy a truck that shakes, this is not a vibration, this thing shakes......anyone have any ideas?????

u-joints? Driveshaft problem, have also had the transfer case mount fall apart and causes driveline shake.

were the rims checked for runout or out-of-round?

and what's "custom" about your driveline?

and yeah, worn suspension parts could cause a problem, particularly if the alignment angles aren't dead on perfect.

the whole truck shakes, or just the steering wheel shakes?


could be SOOOO many things, even after what you've replaced; steering-stabilizer, mis-clocked drive shaft, bad u-joints, and as mentioned above, what you you mean by "custom driveline"?

How about your wheel bearings, have you had them checked ?, the rear bearings in my 4Runner were so bad you could wiggle them up and down almost a quarter of an inch.

by "drive line" do you mean drive shaft?

"drive line" is more of a description of a combination of parts like the clutch (or torque converter), trans, u-joint, drive shaft, differential, axle shafts, and so on...
