Tell them to order a pinion flange, too. Mine had 3 different DS and still was quite bad. They replaced the pinion flange and did the on car balancing and that fixed it.
:cheers:
I will give these a try next -- I took the readings below before I read this.
Congrats on getting your problem solved! And your English is better than some of the American posters!! :cheers:Hey everybody. I am Reiner from Germany and this is my first post here. Sorry because of my bad English. School is so many years ago.
It´s very important for me to say "thank you so much!!!" to all the people who wrote all the horrible storys about the vibrations at their Mustangs. I got my Pony at 11-21-2015 and I had the vibrations since the first day - it began at 85 km/h and had the highest level at 100 km/h. First we checked the wheels but they were okay. A friend from the German Mustang6-Forum told me to have a look at your Forum here, where the same problems have been discussed since January 2015. When I read about the Drive Shaft I told it to my Dealer one week ago. He could´nt see anything at the car and made a Phone Call to our German Ford Headquarter in Cologne where nobody had heard from vibrations before. So the Expert in Cologne said to my Dealer: Try to turn the Drive Shaft to 180° like the customer (me) told you. He did it and - yes the vibrations has gone. Now my Pony runs so smooth - I like it all day more than the day before.
Once again thanks so much to you all here. I learn a lot in the German Mustang-Forum and I am sure that I will learn a lot by visiting your Forum too in your wonderful Country USA:clap2:
And by the way - thanks to US :ford: to celebrate the Mustang in the European Version for the first time in this glory 50 years-history:cheers:
I'd make sure they replace the pinion flange. My car had 3 DS swaps and the balancing with the Ford equipment by the engineer and was still bad. Replaced the pinion flange and it was fixed.
Updates
The service writer gave me back my notes from the forum and said "Those forums are full of upset people who lie." I told her I thought it would be well worth their while to review what other dealers are doing. She said, "The tech working on your car already diagnosed it as a drive shaft issue. He's never wrong." Well, I hope I don't have to make her eat those words next week.
Well atleast they diagnosed and didn't tell you that's the nature of the car lol. That happened to me at the Dodge dealer when I was trying to get a fix for the differential making noise and they said "well just put some louder pipes and you won't have to hear it." I told em "I have a lawyer with a louder mouth" and problem was fixed. Ended up being a bent gear cuz it kept whining. Just keep pushing them but be very stern and direct that usually puts em on their toes to try and get it all done. Also something that stood out to me was this and see if it works with you guys. Every time I took my car to the dealer all cleaned up and shiny I got the upmost respect, whenever I took it dirty they didn't treat me the same as when I brought it in clean. That always stood out to me. So every time I go, I take it very clean and detailed. I hope yours gets fixed man, this vibration drives me crazy.
