I mean she is a nice 68 stang but man she is costing me loads...... long after I've already restored almost the entire thing. Im normally one to ask about cars in my family but this one has me stumped!

Yeah man I wish it was either one of those. Ive had my wheels with the old tires balanced and with new tires. Rims aren't bent. Ive had the drive shaft balanced,I replaced the ball joints, upper control arm and lower control arms , trans rebuilt with new mount, harmonic balancer is rather new and ok, new shocks up front and rear. Man Im at a loss. The only things I can come up with is either the brakes (drum) are unbalanced (not out of round) or that engine mount resting against my headers

@mrriden That would be the 3rd generation
what makes a car raddle and vibrate in idle. but when i press on the gas it smooths out agian. even if im moving 2 miles per hour, it still doesnt vibrate. only when im stoped the car shakes hard.

@princejaa I believe a engine balances itself better at higher rpm that why it vibrates at idle speed,just my theory.

Both my 96 SL2 and my 96 SC2 vibrate at highway speeds. Once I am going 60+mph it vibrates...you can see the vibrations down both arms while holding the wheel...could this be a motor mount? Replaced upper motor mount on the SC2 about 1 yr or so ago, but didn't know to do that last bit at the end of your vid, and also didn't know there were brands I should avoid. That replacement cured the ROARING vibes I was getting, esp. during right turns. The SL2 I have had 6 mos...still getting acquainted :)

@lyricia1996 Sounds to me like your tires could be out of balance.

Could a broken mount make your car vibrate at speeds 50 and above? Ive exhausted all I can on the suspension and drive train.

@geebobwiz More likely a bent rim ,worn cupped tires or out of balanced tires.
