Im having a problem with my 2004 Montero Limited 3.8. The vehicle has 34,000 miles on it and whenever it seems you attempt to drive at a steady speed above 50 mph, you feel a weird rumble or vibration throughout the truck. This same sensation occurs whenever you let go of the accelerator and attempt to just coast. Its a strange rumble feel that seems to go away as im accelerating, but returns as soon as i let go off the gas or attempt to coast. The vehicle also seems to take of strangly on turns for the first 20 minutes of driving the car, like a start and stop hesitation feel. I owned a 2002 montero xls that drove a lot smoother without the strange vibration feel. I cat figure the problem out and I am going to get a alignment tomorrow to see if it helps, although it doesnt feel like a front end vibration, and i dont really feel it in the steering wheel, more in the seat of my pants. Just had the tires rebalanced, but didnt seem to change anything. Im hoping that someone possibly has had a similar problem that they solved and can help me with this. Thank You in advance for any help.

Id check tire balance, alignment, brokken/loose suspension components and wheel bearings. Look at the rims for missing wheel weights. Then lift wheel, grab tire at top and shake - is the wheel loose?
