mother'f'in vibrations..........

[txrocco at sbcglobal.net (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

if the vibration is not varying with RPM is it related to Speed? drive 80,
get vibration, drop engine in neutral an coast vibration still there ?
if then, check axles, bearings and warped rims/tireload (out of round
perhaps slightly)

=>
=>ya, it doesn't seem to be engine, the vibration rate doesn't change really
=>in relation to engine speed. The engine vibration at idle isn't the same
=>sort of vibration Im getting at speed.
=>

=>
=>replaced em, no change..
=>
=>>Check that the axle nuts are tightened as well as the condition of your
=>brake rotors
=>
=>yup, been there. :(
=>
=>>Try swapping the front wheel/tires for the rears and see what happens.
=>
=>wish I could, but it isn't an option.

=>
=>  most people do the 2 (driver/passenger side) poly inserts, and use HD
=>front
=>  and Back to kill most of the "vibrations"

=>  =>all new motor mounts all the way around, doubt that's the
=>  =>problem, they are
=>  =>polly front and rear with poly inserts on the sides. They of course
=>cause
=>  =>killer engine vibration at idle, but  would it translate into
=>  =>vibration like
=>  =>what Im getting?
