Hi also have a vibration in the driver seat which starts at about 18-22 mph. Although it a quick vibration and not a thumping. The dealer also told me the u-joints are fine. I'd be very interested to know what it finally to to get the vibration to stop.

I have also posted this question to the bulletin board community using the name Al Nelson a few days ago.

Thanks for any help,
Al


I have a vibration (thumping) when i start out right between the seats and it goes away once I'm in 3rd gear. From talking to people it seams that it is probably the center bearing on the drive shaft. Can I asumme this is it and buy the bearing , which is only 88 dollars and have my own mechenic install , which he can and save a bundle over the dealer cost to install 400 to 500 at dealer.
