Vibration coming from the rear end of my 04 gt
Hey guys, every time I turn or take off too fast from a stop I get some vibration in the steering wheel. It sounds like a high pitch drumming noise (cant really think of a good way to describe the noise). It feels almost as if something is rubbing against something else when I turn or take off too fast. This happened right after I got my rotors machined on the two back wheels. Me and a guy took a look at it and the tires were a little loose, but we couldn't find anything wrong. He thinks it may be the limited slip, or posi... any ideas?
*Edit* I just had 4.10 gears put in about a year ago... So I figured it was a little soon for those to be giving me problems. I broke them in nice and slow too, didn't go over 3k rpm the first 600 miles or so |
high pitched drumming noise? Where is it coming from do you think? If it's the center/back it could be some gear whine...I'm really interested in this whine you're talking about. Is it similar to a power-steering whine??
|
It is definately coming from the rear end, Its not just a whine is the thing though I can feel it in the steering wheel when I turn. just imagine the noise kind of as if the wheels when i turn are hitting the frame of the car... kind of like that. The car still performs and it doesn't seem to be affecting that, I just cannot figure out what the hell it is. I know this is really confusing lol I cant really explain it over the computer but im doin my best

Well you might check your power-steering fluid anyway just to be sure about the steering deal. When you guys got the gears, did you get the bearing kit?
|
No they said I would be ok without the bearing kit... I had about 29k miles on it when i got them installed and now I have about 38k miles. Could I possibly need to change out the bearings?
|
Yup. Anytime you're in there messing around, put in new bearings. I can't say for sure that's the issue in this case, but it wouldn't surprise me.
|
Ok, ill take a look at that. Will I need to have the gears put back in again? Cause that is a costly operation.
|
Maybe. I don't really know what the proper way to go about that is. Might try asking Spike Africa, or 03gtmustang since he's the mod of general tech...
|
Alright will do, thanks for the help didn't even think of the bearings
|
No problem, keep us updated. And again, check your power-steering fluid level...it might explain the whine in your steering.
|
I dont think its the power steering fluid, it vibrates the steering wheel when i take off to fast... ill check it though just in case
