Do you have a std or automatic transmission?Is it 2wd or 4wd?Have you checked tranny (if std) and diff(s) gear lube or lifted tires off ground with a jack and checked for excessive slop in wheel bearings...........................Got big all terrain tires,try it on a dirt road and see if it is quieter and if so welcome to the noisey on street all terrain tire club......Will check back after relieving a murdered turkey of a grand portion of its bounty.Happy holidays

I also had a vibration for quite some time now & just took it to the garage.

The mechanic took drive shaft off and found that on one of the ends a preload nut was loose, tightened it up some and the noise went away BUT came back a week later. DAMN!!!!

At least I know where it is coming from and will have it re-inspected to see if the bearing or what not is bad.

Very annoying to say the least. I'll let U know once I take it back.

The vibration mainly is felt below the center consule.

This is a 94 SR-5 3.0 DOG V6 automatic.

Check the front drive shaft u-joints from transfer case and diff. if 4x4 and/or main (rear) driveshaft u-joints and carrier bearing housing (if on 2wd split driveshaft) and transmission mount.
