    Hey everyone,
    On wednesday i was driving along and made a right hand turn and heard this vibration that went through the peddles and was felt through the floor board (also heard). The next day i had to do a bit more drving and the vibration was occuring more and more. I was able to replicate it by reving the engine up to 2000rpm, it would vibrate, and as soon as the rpms dropped it went away.

    The vibration seems like it is coming from the driver front wheel, but after a trip to the dealer, the wheel bearing, cv, hub assembly are all fine. (all covered under warranty)

    now i have full set of relentless skids. So they told me to take them off and come back on monday so they could do some further inspection. I wanted to make sure it wasnt my skids vibrating or something. So i took off the tranny skid tightened everything back up and went for a drive, and no more vibes.

    I noticed that on the skid the exhaust was rubbing....could this have caused my vibes? I also noticed the tran bolts were kinda loose, could this have caused vibes?

    Im pretty confused cause if the skids were the cause wouldnt the vibration be all the time?

    Sorry for the lengthy post, just kinda confused and wanted to see what everyones input was or if anyone had any ideas.

    Thanks,
    tacoma16
