you are right about one thing,most are wear parts. so my 2015 is almost a 2025! all of the wheels have been checked many times on a high speed balance machine. John,are you saying try driving without the driveshaft connected? hmmmmmm and letting the front wheel drive take over??? I never would have thought of this. but can this really be done?

I do not have the old drive shaft. the carrier bearing was clearly worn and rusted, and i was certain this problem was solved. not to be...now the mention of shops having a special analysis tool has my attention. I have never heard of such a thing but my eye balls are wide open. my 2015 is soon to be a 2025..............would love to find this to help another guy. I was even gonna go back to the mechanics shop and fill him in in case he ever had one like this. its probably gonna cost me more than the damn thing is worth....but now ..I'm pissed.

after differential fluid change...vibration still there. Yes I did have the wheels aligned by a very good shop. I'm going to go back and talk to him about these bushings. I'm starting to think viscous coupler which I know nothing about other than its part of the AWD and that its connected in my path of issues

just changed out the differential fluid.jury is still out...how tough are the rear subframe bushings to swap out? cant seem to get a read on this one

I was in upstate NY for my sons hockey tournament some years ago and I remember the speeds only being 65. around here if I'm doing 83 in the fast lane I'll get run over. great! another idea I will look to the filling of the differential. I replaced the coupler along with the driveshaft and carrier bearing tho thanks again! I,m on it

Ohhh sorry. Yes this is a 3.6 AWD

Here in Michigan in the northern lower posted speeds are 75 mph. so 80 is is quite normal I like to set my cruise at around 83. I don,t think motor mounts are the issue. they did cross my mind so at the higher speeds I just put the trans in neutral and let the motor rest, vibration still there. I"m now starting to feel the vibration at lower speeds now. so at 60 ish it comes and goes. I'm thinking about taking the drive shaft back off and having it balanced since it is an after market. (DORMAN) speaking of the the drive shaft, am I missing anything as far as assembly? is there a certain sequence or something? now i will look into the rear sub frame bushings for sure. thanks for that! any other thoughts are most certainly welcomed Thank-You very much!

I have same problem 2015 dodge Journey 126000.mi steering wheel and seat vibration at 70-80 mph here is my list of replaced parts. new tires balanced probably 5 times struts front and rear brakes,rotors, ball joints, tie rod ends, cv axles, front and rear,intermediate shaft, all 4 wheel hubs with bearings,front steering knuckles,complete drive shaft, rear upper and lower lateral arms.the front lower control arms are solid. after all of this, still vibrates! I am beside myself. any suggestions? I'm thinking has to be in the rear end now somewhere?
