My stang has a vibration between 70 and 80 mph. The steering also feels loose. It's been aligned and the wheels have been balanced.

Worth a shot. I haven't replaced them yet so I might as well.

thats an easy one.... just stay under 70mph or over 80 mph.just kidding. i had the same thing on my car and it took me forever to find it but it ended up being that the tires werent balanced correctly. even though i got them balenced, they didnt do it correctly so i had to have it done again.</P>


hope this helps, Dan</P>
