Vibration thru vehicle when accelerator is pressed
This is actually in regards to my '91 Explorer, (sorry, but we must keep the winter vehicles running too while the stang is in storage...)
When driving the truck there is a moderate vibration thru the vehicle when the accelerator is pressed. The vibration is felt through the whole vehicle and would be best described as a very deep bass sound. The vibration increases as vehicle speed increases, yet when letting off the gas, it seems to go away. My initial thought is a out of balance drive shaft. My Mustang has that problem at a certain rpm in third gear. However, in that case, it feels like a harmonics type vibration. With the truck it does not matter what gear or speed. The "sound" / vibration as I described is very deep. Not a rattle, but a vibration that can be felt in the seat of your pants and the steering wheel. Trying to pin point the exact source has been difficult. However, the intensity of the sound appears to be the drive shaft location. (This all takes place in 2WD, the 4WD is not usable because of universal joints that need replacing.)I'm hoping its not a bearing in the trans or engine. I also think that the symptoms would be similiar between a car and a truck, which is why I'm bringing it up here. Any suggestions as to where to begin? Thanks, Steve. |
