Vibration between 50 & 70 mph

Did you ever get your car fixed?

I am dealing with a steering wheel shimmy on my 2019 GT MT-82. I just spent about $2200 on round wheels and tires, for my issue to not be resolved. I've only got 24'000 miles, and I have owned the car since new. I had a set of out of round tires on the car for a few years, so I always assumed my shimmy was tire related. Unfortunately, it is not.

No, never did. I replaced the brake pads, rotors, tires because the dealer I went to kept saying its my tires then they said it could be brakes. I did all the work by changing the brakes but it never fixed the vibration issue. The car has 67,000 miles on it now and the vibration pretty much stayed the same through the vehicle's life. It really sucks because on long drives it becomes tiring.

That’s extremely frustrating. I’m really sorry to hear that you put all that work into your car for the vibration to not go away.

Do you also feel the vibration in the steering wheel?

I’ve been researching aftermarket 1 piece drivelines for my 2019, and am curious if you’ve considered installing a 1 piece driveline.

What has been otherwise a great car, feels really unsatisfactory due to the vibration issues.

I feel the vibration in the steering wheel, the driver seat, footwell and pedals.

I have heard multiple people on this forum either have success or vibration issues becoming worse when using a 1 piece driveshaft. Considering a good one is $$$$, I have not planned on experimenting

I have noticed the same thing regarding others who have replaced their driveshaft. Part of me doesn’t want to touch anything because I can live with the vibration my car has now, as much as it annoys me. The thought of messing with anything and the vibration getting worse has me concerned.

I setup an appointment with the dealer near me to checked out at the beginning of next month fingers crossed they don’t give me the run around

I have given up on Ford as a company. My car has been at Ford service center since March 30 for a transmission replacement and they started working on it this past Monday. It took dozens of calls and several emails to get a response and status updates. I have had other brands, Honda, Infiniti, Toyota and none of them (dealership service related) caused this kind of disconnect and lack of accountability. I am certain I am not buying a Ford product again.

Folks, is it important to distinguish whether the drive line vibration you’re referring to is a buzz, like an airplane propeller or a subwoofer bass note, or rather a shimmy-shake bouncing, back-and-forth. The only way it is a drive line vibration is if it is a buzz roar or hum like The former. Everything else…bounce, shake in steering wheel, is tires, rotors, wheels, etc.. the frequency and perception of a drive train-related issue is completely different between tires and wheels related issues, and a driveshaft drivetrain issue.

I haven’t read too far back in this thread, but several years ago I posted a ton of information on here about it, and you can go back and look at some of my old posts if you like.

buying a one piece, driveshaft or aftermarket driveshaft is almost certainly not going to fix the issue. It is likely to make it worse. There are many reasons why.
