so i took my 95 lwb in to fix another o2 sensor and i told the mechanic my situation with the vibration cuz its gottin worse theres slight cherping and when i hit about 30 mph the noise is loud and the vibration is worse until about 75 then it quites down. he hasnt had a chance to look at it but he thinks it might be a bad u joint.?? i havent had the tires rotated and the front right tire is a different brand(three goodyear forteras and one big o tire)coulr this be that simple of a solution?

So, how often do you lube the grease fittings?
How many miles on the truck?
If you haven't stayed on top of greasing your drive shafts, you should replace all the u-joints.

Expensive? Depends on who does the work... Atlantic British wants $60 a piece for just the part. But I a pretty sure you can get greasable ones for half this price.

May need to get it into a shop and find out for sure.

There are places where you can buy good used drive shafts, don't buy a new one from Rover. Let us know what sort of estimate you get cause mechanics love to screw people on these.
Let me know if you want a tele number so you can buy a used one.
