Theres the driveshaft, but idk if a small dent would cause vibration or not.

That could be it. My friend took his lifted ranger out one day to rock crawl, and he got a dent in his driveshaft. he replaced it and it was fine. But, how did you get a dent in your driveshaft?

probably




I would think that a dent would cause more of a constant vibration than a specific shutter only when letting off of the gas.
