I have 2004 Ranger 4x4 (4.0L 5 spd 120K). Today I started getting intermittent vibrations from the front of the truck. Sometimes it was bad enough to violently shake the whole truck (usually at speeds below 20mph or so). This started happening in 2wd, but I tried switching to 4wd and still had the vibration. The weird thing is that it sometimes goes away. I heavilly suspect the CV joint on the front driveshaft as the problem, but am not positive on that. The front CV axles feel fine, the rear driveshaft/u joints feel fine, the front u joint appears to be fine but the shaft has quite a bit of slop in it.
I'm wondering if anyone has had a simlar issue and what the cause turned out to be. I need to figure this out quickly
Thanks
