Nope - I got a little vib at 80 or so.

When Ford put in my new halfshafts, wheel hubs and CV joints ... the vibe is gone.

Had the vibration on my 03. Dealer replaced the driveshaft and its gone. Vib started about 75 Mph and was rather severe, had the rear tires balanced once more, now its perfect.

if it still has the stock goodyears, they could very well be the trouble. new cars are built with throw-away tires.

bring your car to one of our get-togethers and we can evaluate it.

i think you really need to let cliff take your car for a test beat.

i had a whine around 40 and up and a vib at 80mph and up

Ford gave me a new IRS center section for the whine and new driveshaft for the vibration.

I dont think i explaneed it well enough, its sound that sounds like a metal tube in a metal shaft, that vibrates for about 1 second, when the car is still cold somewhat, like when i get about a mile from my house. Its really weird, i think its one of those things you would have to hear, or know exactly what im talkin about cuase you had the problem. thanx tho, and no test beat you can be in the car while we test "beat" it, but u aint drivin

Maybe tire flatspotting?

When I still had the stock tires, I'd have that problem all the time. It would cause a slight vibration and then go away after a couple miles.

My new tires don't do that.

Although, if it was flatspotting, you'd also be able to feel a vibe in the steering wheel.
