yeah so my jeep has a new vibration that is worse now for no reason. starts at anything over 30 and gets worse and better and worse again intermittently as i accelerate or even coast. first thing i did was remove the front DS and that solved absolutely nothing, then i tightened my draglink end which has become very loose, that solved nothing. all steering is squared away, all my ujoints seem top notch, especially the ones i just replaced.
anyone have any ideas here? nothing new has been done to the jeep to warrant any new vibe so it has to be something going

Unit bearings? I also noticed that my exhaust is making a vibration now because it is making contact with the floor. Something like that?

well my exhaust may very well be contacting the floor so that is a goooood call
rear shaft is all tight, tires balanced all accordingly cept the driver rear, but thats always been that way and ive never had these vibes from it
that exhaust took that hit at stone gardens so i have to check that
rear axle pinion is solid as stone
front not so much, i really hope ther nut aint looose cuz thatd be bad news

no if the nut is loose you should be fine the depth is set with shims not crush sleaves

update
i found my engine/tranny skid was digging into my exhaust, and making direct contact with it elsewhere as well, so i removed the skid thinking it was being vibrated. nothing solved. exhaust has been looked over and ruled out.
i took it for a 'spirited' highway ride and found the following:
Its only harsh when im on the gas
its only above 30-35
its not really felt in the steering wheel or seat specifically at all until higher speed when it spreads
its DEFINITELY front-end related.
faster i go (65+) it gets intense
my dash and everything forward i can hear vibrating and as speed increases it spreads

This may sound stupid but are all the lugs tight and how are your hubs? Mine our shot and I have a good vibe going down the road.

lugs are tight
hubs/unit bearings are the next check
