The wheel does not vibrate back and forth on it’s own, no. But I do really think the vibration is driveline related, so I really think it could be my rear axles. They have a lot of linear play in them. Maybe I’ll try to source a used low mileage set.
I think it’s the driveline becaus a) my tires aren’t worn funny, and if it was a bushing flopping around usually the tires wear funny and b) when my rear end is squatting with tongue weight the vibration changes a bit. Squatting would put the axles in a slight different orientation, so it kind of makes sense in my head. I will be checking the fronts but my steering wheel doesn’t seem to vibrate. I can see the back of the passenger seat vibrating, and sometimes when it’s happening bad I can see the dash going up/down but I’m not sure if it’s the car or my seat vibrating me.
