Rear end shakes violently at low speeds

While I am driving my truck at low speeds it will start to shake violently out of the blue and then stop. It might go a couple miles or more, or just a half mile, then do it again I don't know about high speeds I didn't think it would be wise to drive it at high speeds. I took both rear Brake Drums off to see if they might've fell apart but, they were fine. What could it be

Very good possibility that you have a tire with a belt that slipped.

Something out-of-balance somewhere. Start with the tires, check the wheels, then have the driveshaft balance checked. Do any off-roading?

SOURCE: ford super duty vibration/shake

The carrier bearing should not move at all. It is mounted in rubber to give a little. But, it should not move freely. If this is the case then something has gone bad. The carrier bearing would cause this vibration as it spins if it is loose.

SOURCE: The car shakes at 35 mph then as you increase

It can be the suspensions or the shock absorbers, check also the engine mountings.
i will be good to take a full checkup of all the links and suspension bushes in the car. so a full test on the shocck absorbers, test the wheel bearings the hubs and if the discs are bend even is if the balancing was done.

SOURCE: 05 F350 Bad shake from

This is either the uni joints or the center bearing if it has a 2 piece tailshaft. Uni joints can be quiet dangerous if they let go. jack the back end up, handbrake off and in 1 hand hold the tailshaft, in the other, hold the diff pinion (input) wriggle them against one another. if there is any movement this needs to be replaced. center bearing- if there is any movement this needs to be replaced.

Violent shake on highway

Unbalanced wheels shake a vehicle like that. It's hard to understand your earlier statement. It sounded like after you weren't moving anymore that it still shook. I am figuring that isn't what you meant.

Steering wheel and tire issue

Have a front end suspension check done to eliminate any worm ball joints -shockies- worn suspension rubbers-- steering problems. If ok have a wheel alignment done and have the rear end aligned first as it affects the front alignment. The violent wobble is castor wobble and indicates negative castor possible from sagging suspension springs. The camber is out at that results in the car following every dip in the road. The camber has to work in conjunction with the toe-in measurement and if the 2 are not correct then you will have problems.

Rear end noise, shaking

Check the rear driveshaft u-joints. Most likely the rear u-joint at the differential is seized/seizing. May here a rotational squeaking at low speeds. If you want to check it yourself. Remove the rear driveshaft and move the u-joint in each direction and check for tightness. Do so with both ends. Let me know how it works out for ya!

When driving the car shakes violently...when turn

It could be tires need balanced, but more likely it's one of your cv joints. That is basically a "drive shaft" on front wheel drive vehicles.

Violent wheel shake sometimes

check the tie rod ends, and if they are bad replace them .. (tip) if you replace them , count the threads on the old ones and set the new ones the same.. if you have to have it realigned, the alignment will be minimum ..
