Vibration in car???????

skipnutz · 06-19-2007

Ok fella's I need some help. Under strong acceleration I am starting to feel a vibration in the car. As the RMPs increase it seems to get worse. The car is still pulling strong and the S/C is still boosting normal, but I feel a vibration in the seat of my pant, the steering sheel as well and the Shifter. The shifter seems to be woorse than the steering wheel or in the pants. Any thoughts??

Check your u-joints, chances are real good that's the problem.

Yellow94GT · 06-19-2007

U-joints, or bent drive shaft

or even a broke tranny mount or motor mount

I'd Check the harmonic balencer as well...

OK, I tried some trouble shooting, I can feel it slightly with the car out of gear and the clutch in, so I am leaning to a motor mount or tranny mount. My trans is is rattling a little bit with the clutch out at idle. I thought it was the through out bearing, but I am leanin toward a tranny mount. I cant get under the damn thing so I guess I will take it somewhen and have them check the tranny mounts. What do you guys think that should run me. I will go get some ramps and do it myself if you guys thnk that it is something I can do myself. I am OK with working, I was able to pull and reinstall the blower when it got rebuilt. What do you think????

hell something as simple as pulling one side on the curb if you dont have a jack works to crawl under it.... but is the shifter movin all around while its in gear....??? like more then it should...??

The vibration during a hard pull in 2nd is much more than it is normally. In fact, I can hear the damn thing making a pretty lound vibration noise in the shifter. At idle it in not bad, at first i thought it was a lifter or a valve, but after a little more listining (and my wifes ear to help) it is comming from the linkage under my feet. Under heavy acceleration I can feel the rattle through the hole car, and to be honest it seems to have gotten worse over that last few days. I am going to take a walk with the kids and when I get back I will take a look under the car. I hate to say, I am not even sure what to look for under there. How will I know if the mount is bad? I have done top end work, and installed the S/C but I havent been under the Stang much (see 6'4 225 + lowered Fox LX= hard to get fat ass under car). Any advice would be great. Thanks for the help and Cheers. Here is a link to my ride...

hey, check your engine dampner that is connected to the crank on the front of the engine.......they have a rubber insulator on them to help keep them balanced and when they start to go bad, you will feel it during acceleration. Sometime's the fucker's will even come apart..........that would be the very first thing i would check........

OK brother, thanks for the tip. I will do that. What do I check for? (i.e how do I know it is bad?
