So I was heading to work today and noticed a slight vibration coming through the floor board, my gas pedal, and my steering wheel. It stops when I'm turning my wheel about 45 degrees left or right. Then when it comes back. It's not a bad vibration sorta like feels like a humming vibration if that makes any sense. Any ideas?

When was the last time you rotated your tires? Maybe lost a wheel weight. Might want to crawl under and check and make sure nothing has worked loose.

So I got all the mud outta the wheels. Checked everything and nothings loose. I'm in the dark on this I can't figure it out.

Check and make sure that all the mud is cleared out around the wheel speed sensors. It sounds like it could be an ABS or ESP issue.

Every time I have felt such a vibration it was tire balance related. Usually I would find mud or ice built up in the rims.

At very low speeds it is my BFG's tire tread that I feel.

At what speeds are you feeling this?

More at higher speeds but it starts around 20mph. Wouldn't mud still make it do it even when I'm turning. About at around 40 degrees or so left or right it stops.
