bad vibration, help fast
hey im new to mustang forums, i own a 92 5.0 notchback and when i get up to about 75-80 mph the car gets a really bacd vibration, ive put new ujoints in the driveshaft and a new transmission yoke but it has not solved my problem. i cant seem to think of what it could be that causes it to do this.

when you installed the u-joints did you hit the weld on the drive shaft or did you hit the drive shaft if you hit the drive shaft you will dent in the drive shaft and that can make a bad vidration

If it shakes only at higher speeds I guarantee its in the rims and tires. What rims did you buy? Is the hub diameter of the rim the same as the mustang hub diameter? If not you might need hubcentric rings. They will center your wheel to the hub so its not off by a littel bit. Also, how were the wheels balanced? Did they use tape wieghts or or just regular pound on wheel weights? Did they balance it dynamically (weights on both inside and outside lips) or did they static balance it (weights only in the inside)?

Most likely the balance on the rims and tires I get customers all the time that think there alignment is out because there car vibrates at speeds but 9 times out of 10 it is the tires
