Default vibration at pedal and noise

Hey guys so about a week ago my XJ started to have a small vibration in the gas pedal when I would hit 65mph on the freeway, it wasn't constant it would come and go and only after I had been up to that speed after a min or so. I only go up to 70-75mph at the most and its still there not constant but comes and goes, when you slow down/let off the gas pedal it goes away. You can also hear the vibrating as well. Theres no death wobble at all.

2 weeks ago I changed the wheel hubs, 2 months ago I had the Currie currectlync steering installed at a shop and an alignment done along with new tires. They told me my RE track bar was shot and would need replaced at some point. Is this the track bar? All the searching I did turned up nothing except if the track bar was shot you would get death wobble.

It is starting to become more frequent when I go up to 70mph which I have been trying to avoid. The only thing I could think of other than that is my 2.5" exhaust hits my shackle slightly when I get on the gas but rarely does it but I haven't heard it in so long I can't tell if thats what I'm hearing when I get up to that speed because Im hearing it up front not in the rear like I used to. any help would be appreciated guys. got the next 2 days off work.

Video below, you can hear it a little bit towards the middle it is a lower tone sound in the video it comes and goes.


98 XJ, 5" lift, AW4, 4.0, Currie Currectlync steering, RE Track bar, New wheel hubs, new tires

31x10.50x15 Mickey Thompson MTZs that are new but they replaced older MTZs

I have a hack n tap since it's a 242 and it was serviced/inspected when I had the steering out on 2 months ago.
