I KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL!! i had this same problem, it was either 75 for me or 90, in between those 2 speeds the vibrations would be really serious. now its mostly gone because i got mounts all over and lubed up my joints..

im going to go check the motormounts now, even though the nebors will not like it having me rev my motor at midnight, but **** em

Ezrider

well the motor would rotate just a little and then the car would twist, so its probably not the motormounts...god i love how my car sounds from outside. with the pipes comming out the side you cant hardly hear the exaust from the inside of the car unless you have the windows down

Yeah my motor mounts are terribly cracked. I noticed this when I bought the car.. So I hear there is a big Torque increase after just installing new motor mounts?? Is this true? I have never had to replace, but mine are beginning to look really bad, and I am going to be adding a lot more power to this engine in the near future. Think it is a good idea to invest in some mounts?? Not trying to steal the thread, just want some feedback on this quick question/comment.

Ezrider

im sure if you are going to be adding alot of power and your motormounts look bad its probably a good idea to change them, the last thing you want is to try to launch at the stip and have your motor come unglued from the chassis. i will be changing mine soon but this weekend im thowing in some new u joints to hopefully fix my vibration problem, prob also new brakes shes squeeking a little

definately invest in new mounts if yours are shot. remember, its not torque that you lost due to sh-tty mounts, its delay of torque deliverance to the wheels that is the downside of crap mounts.

softy mounts will allow the engine to twist in place instead of twisting the driveshaft to turn the wheels. its this delay that can hurt ET's.

i have a problem just like you, my rear passenger side spring is broken.

Ezrider

well the problem did turn out to be the u joints, one of the end caps where cracked and all the needle barrings had come out and on the opposite side of that one half the bearings where busted in half, so i replaced them lubed everything realy well now it rides like a cadilac, well not realy but rides smoth for an 5.0

Glad you found out what it was and got it fixed...
