Low frequency vibration/noise

[jkern]

Over the last 5-7k miles i have noticed a low frequency noise and mild vibration in the right front of the truck. It only happens right at 65mph, it is not present at 63 or 67mph and is most noticeable at 65. Passengers have even noticed a vibration on the floorboard with their feet while at 65mph. It does seem to change with steering slightly to the right or left and sometimes will disappear at 65 with a slight turn input. I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this? Does it sound like a wheel bearing or u-joint? Truck has 53k miles on it, dealer says that either item is only covered under the 3/36 warranty, so it is mine to fix.

I think I'd rotate the tires and see what happens. Are they original with 53k on them?

Guess i should have mentioned that: Tires have been rotated twice with no change. They have about 20k miles on them.

You might want to try jacking up each side of the front axle separately, then check the wheels and suspension for any noticeable play anywhere. You can also spin each tire listening and feeling for anything abnormal.

I'm wondering if there might be something going on with one of the wheel bearings?
