Car Vibrates when going 50MPH
 
OK this just started, When I'm in 5th gear in the highway and I let go of the pedal the car vibrates(HOPE MY SPELLING IS CORRECT). Even in fourth when I start to gun it a little, you can feel the shifter and the floor, and well basically the whole car shake. Tires are brand new, blance, and botls are tight. I recently heard tonight a noise in my rear brakes like if something was loose in there. but the shakeing of the car is really bad. its worse when I give it gas and when I let go of the gas going 50mph or more. Can this be a Mount? I hope you guys have a Idea what this can be. My car has 145,658 miles on it but its always keep in very good running condition.

My car started doing the same thing after i did a hellacious burnout and it ended up being the driver's side motor mount. While i was at it I also replaced the trans mount and passenger side mount and it went away completely.

How old are you Universal joints? Take a look at those.

I think it sounds like the u-joints? There are nice and cheap and not to hard to do do them be for you put new motor mounts on. I bet that it is the Universal joints, It likes to go out if you drive it hard, You can get heaver Duty. If it is not that it could be you drive shaft out of balance like a tire, it has wieghts on it. 1 might have come off. try theU-joints frist or you could get a new Alu,inum Driveshaft for like $165.

Might be trans mount. I had my 70 mach 1 loose the rubber in the mount and it acted just like a bad u joint.

1. U-joints/driveshaft
2. trans mount
3. differential/axels

FMS aluminum driveshaft...$160. With new ujoints and about 15lbs lighter, it's a steal.
