First post here… I hope this is the right place.
I have a used 2019 Rebel that I traded my 2019 tradesman in for. Both had the same miles but liked the Rebel better.
Anyway, after I bought it I noticed vibration coming from the front end passenger side the Duratracs that were on it were already pretty shot(after 20k) and I prefer KO2’s so bought a set of those. Had them put on and still had the same vibration that I could feel in the steering wheel, gas pedal, and floor board. You could hear it in the cab as well.
The vibration would start at 63 mph and and get worse around 70mph. It would come and go on straight aways and get worse with (best I can describe it) an oscillating, louder to quieter, hum. The vibration and “oscillating” would get much MUCH more noticeable going around left curves and disappears altogether on right curves. The steering wheel wouldn’t shake but you could just feel vibration.
Took it back to the tire shop had the tires and wheels checked and all were normal and rebalanced. Still had the issue… so I knew it had to be something else(mind you had the same exact tires on my other Ram that I traded, these were just a new set I had Zero issues with hwy noise other than what’s common having owned multiple sets of these tires in
Took it in last week on weds to get the tires rotated and an oil change(I let the dealership do it since they guarantee the engine for life if they do it) and the vibration checked out. They had it until Friday because they couldn’t find anything wrong with it but then called and said it was the hub bearing and replaced it under warranty.
When I picked it up and left the dealership you could slightly feel it once back on the hwy… but very subtle. It’s been a week now and I’m noticing it again getting louder.
Any ideas?
