No i did not torque,there is a spec but itś not critical.I did use blue loctite on the threads. This did not work for every body . I tried 5 different clock positions and it made a huge difference on mine with every change .

No did not use a dial indicator . I just changed the clock position of the drive shaft to the rear pinion flange until it felt good. I think there are 6 different positions.

Yes you have the drive line vibration.I am a auto Tech 35+ years and my car had the same vibration and YES the steering wheel did shake.Mine was fixed by indexing the drive shaft to the rear pinion flange.Ford put in a new drive shaft that did not make it better. Good luck.

To Ford Service Hey Ford Service,why did you give up on the "vibration between 50 & 70 thread". I follow that thread as I had the vibration on my 2015 Mustang.You have not made any comments on that thread in months. Did Ford tell you to ignore that thread? Just curious,seems odd to not comment...

I am a Auto Tech and I can tell you what is happening.When you let off the gas when the engine is warm,the fuel injectors turn off for better mileage and to give the cat a rest.when the engine slows to 1200-1300 rpms the injectors turn back on so the engine doesn't stall.All newer cars do this...

Yes just got the recall notice today.It said parts wont be available until 2nd quarter 2017.

I have a 2015 with a base radio this has happened to my car twice.Both times i had to open the door and get out and get the key out of range.Got back in ,started it up and all was good.

Pre Delivery Inspection

Yes re-indexing the drive shaft does work in some cases.That is how I fixed mine,no hose clamps needed to fix my car.

Replying to ABS550,could not figure out how to reply to a private message. Took my car to the dealer at 1000 miles for the vibration and they replaced the drive shaft.The shop manager and I went for a ride and there was no difference. He thought it was a tire balance issue (I knew it wasn't) so...

Haven't posted lately so I want to remind people how I fixed mine .I am a auto tech 35 years,I fixed mine or made it 95% better by changing the clock position(indexing) the rear drive shaft to pinion flange position.I tried 5 different positions and it makes a huge difference.

Had drive shaft replaced,no difference.Changed clock position on rear drive shaft to pinion flange (re indexed) 3,000 miles ago vibration gone or 95% gone. Tried 5 different positions,makes a HUGE difference.

Hey FORDSERVICE how come you are not on the vibration between 50 and 70 thread anymore? Is Ford just giving up on that issue?

Yes that is interesting,I used to fix or make better the vibration on mid 90s Chevy S-10 pick ups with a 2 piece drive shaft by using washers to shim the carrier bearing. Chevy did make a updated 2 piece drive shaft to fix it but they were in the $1500-$2000 dollar range and our customers...

Reply to FordTechOne First, Thank you for the SSM on my exhaust it described my problem exactly. As I have said I am a Auto Tech 35+ years,I have access to TSBs but not SSMs. Just want to assure that this is a REAL problem,I can tell a drive line vibration from a tire vibration by feel...

Just wanted to share my experience changing the trans fluid to BG syncro shift 2. Made a difference .... Not night and day but made shifts a little smoother. It made no difference in the thud.

I have a 2015 V-6 and I hear what I think is a internal muffler rattle in left rear on deceleration. Just wondering if any else had this problem and what they replaced.It looks like the resonator and mufflers are a one piece assembly or do they cut it and just put on a muffler? Thought I saw a...

I also have the thud but not real concerned about it since I have the vibration issue. Just wondering if any body knows if the 2011-2014 mustangs with the mt-82 have the thud or is this just 2015+ ??

Not sure who the moderator of this forum is but this should be a forum to help people. FordTechOne should be banned for making statements like " Until that happens, it's simply people on a forum complaining about an issue that may or may not exist. And based upon my experience with S550...

Yes Bubba this is a REAL problem I am a Auto Tech 35+ years i know a drive line vibration and mine had it.
