Default Vibration ????????????????

I just took the 81 out and brought it right back! There is a vibration, feels like its coming from the back. You can feel it for seconds and then its gone for about the same amount of time, this cycle just keeps going and going. The tires are new and balanced( weights are still there, I checked) Anyone have any ideas befoe I go out there tomorrow and start pulling things apart? Thanks for any tips.

do a search for vibration. you will find many results pointing to things to check. i had a very similar vibration to yours. turned out the bell housing bolts were loose on the drivers side. other good places to look...tranny and engine mounts...u-joints...try rotating the tires. it can seem endless at times. :banghead: good luck :cheers:

AAARGH!!! Vibrations! I'll pray for you.

I'm not sure that ANYTHING is more frustration to track down. But once the source is found, it always seems so simple.

Good luck and please do report back when you find the cause. We can always learn something from vibration-tracking posts.
