i can really only hear it...
it's back at the dealer again, for the 3rd time... this time they are keeping it for a few days... and troubleshooting the issue...
i believe they'll say tires again, and i'm gonna put on some new PSSs, and if i can still hear it ... well... then ... i'll deal with then...

My 07 GT500 has bad vibration too... it's really only around 60mph (not 30mph and not 80mph). I don't feel it on the shifter, but I feel it in my body... if I have my sun visor down and to the left it shakes and if I have a GPS on the window, it shakes violently. I had my wheels balanced and was told to get my front end aligned. Could a front end out of alignment be causing all of this? Is there anything else I should look at? Car only has 14,000 miles.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I put on new tires and had an alignment done, and the "vibration" is gone!!!
Still believe it was something to do with the tires...
Feel so much better now... i was afraid it was something mechanical ...

There is no such thing as an alignment on a S197.
They got you for what ever it cost just for a checking...
Toe is the only adjustment on the front end of a S197 Mustang.
If you are out of alignment, you have bent suspension components
that need to be replaced or a tweeked sub-frame.
14K mile cars dont usually have tweeked sub-frames.
Unless you have gotten air or did something stupid
like hop a few parking stops or missed a few turns resulting
in running into the curb with your wheels cocked...

It’s really cool in terms of the resources and look. It saved a great deal of time of mine as I get all the information accumulated here I have you on my bookmark. Reading it really helps in getting proper idea about the topic. It’s quite elaborate
