I feel it cuz its my daily ride, no one else seems to notice a difference . maybe t case is sticky? fronts are not engaged & even went neutral on trans & t case to verify disengagementhttp://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/src:www.stuntlife.com/get/forums/images/smilies/nixweiss.gif

You may want to check the diffs both front and rear.

check the wheel bearings. Jack the car up and grab the tire and try to wiggle it, if it wiggles you've got a bearing problem.

Also when was the last alignment? I highly recomend Lakewood alignment at colfax and wads ish.

I know you said it's coming from the rear but the upper front ball joints had a recall for that year. NHTSA Campaign Number: 04V596000 http://www.lemonauto.com/complaints/daimler_chrysler/dodge_durango.htm
