Excessive vibration does that. It's sounds like the risers had a load on them. Are they touching anything?

Not touching any thing. I replace all four 5/16 bolts and tightened up motor mounts. Drove it for a couple of hours.

Did notice vibration after tighting the mounts, would that be the u-joint?
