Propeller Shaft Vibration

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Dodge Dakota and 2003 Dodge Dakota. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Tires that are out-of-round or wheels that are unbalanced, will cause a low frequency vibration.

Brake drums that are unbalanced will cause a harsh, low frequency vibration.

Driveline vibration can also result from loose or damaged engine mounts.

Propeller shaft vibration increases as the vehicle speed is increased. A vibration that occurs within a specific speed range is not usually caused by a propeller shaft being unbalanced. Defective universal joints or an incorrect propeller shaft angle are usually the cause of such a vibration.
