Vibration stops with no air in suspension
Posted by kalvinbastello@reddit | Truckers | View on Reddit | 3 comments
Have a seasonal 89 Volvo (think they call it white GMC on title) live tandem with a locking differential.
Was driven for about a month at lower speeds probably didn't get above 40, no issue. Sits a few months then driven at higher speeds and past 40mph developed a terrible vibration. This is with a trailer.
One of the ujoints felt a bit sloppy so changed it. Test drive without trailer and still vibrates. Tried lowering suspension which I mean let out air bags over rear axle and... vibration goes away.
Any ideas appreciated.

Leveling valve, under cab bushings, transmission mount. It's probably the transmission mount.

Also Check The leveling valve .
If the rod gets bent or something and it starts adding too much air and making it too tall it will cause that
At least mine did

Check the balance of the tires on that axle. Then check all suspension parts and bushings. Then go as deep as the bearings and axle.
