2001 Condor bounce in rear end

Recently bought a 2001 Condor model number 1330 that has a bounce in the rear end I replaced the tires and had them balanced and it remains to still have the bounce. I replaced the brakes and rotors, carrier bearings, u joints, had drive shaft re-balanced. However it still has the bounce in it. Would like any help with tying to solve this issue.

Welcome to iRV2.

Could you add some info to your post .

Chassis manufacturer ? Size of tires ? Bounce ( vibration) apparent at all speeds and in every transmission gear? Same under power, cruising and coasting ?
Were the tires , spin balanced ? Rims checked for excessive run out before the new tires were installed ?

There is a distinct , difference in the speed of a drive shaft vibration , and that produced from tires and wheels ; drive shaft is turning over 4 times as fast.
Has a mechanic ridden with you to determine if , it's a slow or fast vibration ( bounce )?

2001 Condor (bounce)

workhorse chassis, new tires spin balanced, 19.5 wheels they told me that if rims was bent or out of round they wouldn't balance the balancer would pick it up. At speed 50-70 gets really bad. It bounces pulling or coasting. Not a vibration a bounce sorry to say ys I am also a mechanic/tuckdriver and have never run into this problem.

Did you purchase direct from the Previous Owner, or from a dealer ?
Any chance you could talk to the PO and find out if he was having the same issue ?
Have you tried spinning the rear tires with the rear suspension up on jack stands to look for run out? ( e.g. rear hub machined off center ).
Tried re-indexing the rear dual wheels ? Leave inner where it is and rotate the outer 180.
You replaced carrier bearings ; was there any sign of wear , that could be attributed to the differential carrier being out of balance ( I know that's a long shot ; but from your description of the repairs so far , your problem is unusual.)

Pretty sure you didn't install it in one piece.

Did they match mark the spline position and did you line it up.

Google U joint phasing for more info.
