    Hello all. Need some advice. Just had a Suspension leveling kit intstalled at the dealership that I bought my truck. I picked it up at closing time and on the way home I noticed a slight vibration about every 3 seconds. Most noticeable at 40-60 mph. It’s like a pulsing vibration, almost put you in the mind of hitting a rumble strip on the side of the interstate. Just not that intense. Tires definitely not rubbing. No smell. Can’t figure it out. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    Search ECGS bushing.... that’s probably your problem. Put the truck in 4wd and see if it goes away. If it does, it’s the drivers side needle bearing. Again... search ther ECGS bushing and their is several hundred post about it.

    Yep, what WorKinJoB said. Most likely is your bushing..a search will pull a lot of good information about it.

    I lifted mine today and did the bushing while I was in there. I never had the vibes but didn’t want to start.

    Work in progress...
    Dang! Sorry to hear that. Was it a 2 inch 1inch or 3 and 1? I am thinking of a level kit.
