I just picked up the Lincoln Yesterday and drove it from Orlando to Tallahassee. I already knew about it but it has a set of vibrations I'm trying to figure out. I figured I'd ask to see if anyone has had similar experiences.
This is an 87 lincoln Continental by the way. Well I get a shake in several areas. First I think if I do a constant of 20 mph it shakes like maybe a wheel is bent or somethin. Then right when I hit 45ish up to 50ish I get a pretty good amount of steeringwheel shake. Then if I go over 65 it starts up again and gets a little harder the faster.
I'm thinking of switching the two front wheels to the back and see if it changes anything but I am thinking it needs possibly/balancing/alignment and maybe a new wheels if it turns out to be the culprit.
