I got all the bearings replaced and I still have the same exact problem. Nothing has changed.
Here is what I'm going to try next.
The wife's vehicle is a 2002 Tracker and uses the same bolt patern and has the same size tire as what I have on my Sportge. I'm going to put the Trackers tire/wheels on my Sportage and see if the problem goes away.

UPDATE
See first post for update. check Advance Auto for a price on a new axleshaft. I bought one there a while ago and the price was pretty reasonable.

Been there done that <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> $69.99. O'Reilly's want's $59.99 for remanufactured. I'd rather go new for $10 more and not have to mess with the core hassle.

I replaced both axle shafts and still have a vibration from 25-35. It's not as bad so I'm thinking it has to tire related. My front tires were worn & feathered on the inside so moved them to the rear when my vibration problem started
I'm thinking that the vibration is being caused by the feathered edge on the tires.

I had the same problem before I sold my Kia, my BFG ATs would vibrate the Kia like crazy, put on my BFG MTs and it was smooth, after I bought my Jeep I put the MTs on the Jeep and new tires on the Kia to sale it, It ran smooth when I sold it. Hope thats your problem but that was alot of work getting to that point. How is your U-joints and and slip yokes on your drive shafts? Just a thought.

I wasn't getting any movement in the u-joints but it is a thought. The front bearings and axle shafts did need to be replaced so it wasn't a loss. On top of this my knock sensor is bad so I have that unpleasure to look forward to. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" />
