chatter vibration above 65mph, what is it?

Have you checked u joints?

[LaGrasta]

Yes, I have. Although originals with 174k, they seem perfect.

Reason I ask is...

Mine are at 172,000 and I am getting the same type of vibration.

Thanks

There's always a chance I'm wrong, but they seem good, no hint of a problem. For what they cost and how easy they are to replace, maybe I should swap them and be done with it.

I'm pretty certain it's the rear wheel bearings, although replaced awhile back. I'm going to move forward and swap these and see where I stand. I'll let you know what I find, please do the same.

tires! it was my new tires!
I bought a $900 set of tires and rims off craigslist for only $250. They had about 1000 miles on them and looked brand new.

After my trouble started, I had them rebalanced and the mechanic did it no problem so I thought they were good. I finally, with the van on jacks, put it in gear. The rim was true, but the tire itself was out of round.

A professional mechanic friend said they will true up after a decent "hot" run. He said he's done exactly this many times, so I'm hopeful they will too. I wish I would have just bought new tires, ugh!
