All wheels on the ground. New wheel bearings, properly installed with zero CV snap ring clearance on one side and .002 on the other.

Been chasing what I would describe as a auditory and lightly felt "hum" above 55 and kind of smoothes out above 70. My gut is telling me its a driveshaft, u joint and/or differential vibration.

I crawled under to grease up all the u joints and shaft and noticed a missing bolt on the front drive shaft yoke. Also noticed the front shaft was noisier when rotating and had about twice as much, or more play than the rear when attempting to rotate it with all wheels on the ground.

Is this excessive?
