ok so im headed for the jeep jamboree in the cumberlands tomorrow and tonight i notice a shake coming from the back that i have never noticed before. its weird because while im accelerating, nothing weird happens, but when i let my foot off the gas and get to around 25mph (granted not hitting the brake) it starts to shake like it would if the brakes were shot. i touch the brakes and it remains the same with no change. i pulled all the wheels off tonight and torqued them back down correctly and that didnt seem to work. any help would be nice. dont think it could be the diff, i changed the fluid every 15k since i had it and its only been lifted and wheeled for the past haf year but then again .... i could be wrong

i dont know if this will help but on my rear the other day I had a rattle and it ended up being the bolt that the shock attached to on thet bottom. I tighted that up and no more noise. hopefully that will help you find yours.

If its coming from the wheels, it could be one of the wheels arn't balanced correctly maybe the weights fell off somehow.. ?? also how new are your tires? it could be a bad tire causing the tire to be thrown off balance

but it could also be the rear shock bushings but you would mainly hear that if you hit small bumps in the road not just at a certain speed.
