Question -
Hi Ragu, I own a 2002 Ford F150 Pick-up with a 4.6 engine. I have a vibration that has concerned me for a while. The truck has 38,000 miles. The vibration can only be felt when the truck is moving between 40-42 mph. Like I said this is a chronic problem. I first thought that it may be related to vibration from brake rotor run-out. I have replaced both front rotors and brakes, it didn't change this vibration. The vibration is felt as if the entire truck is shaking. On acceleration the vibration is only felt between 40-42 mph and then is is gone. I can also decelerate and this vibration is felt at the same speeds. What should I do next? Is this a problem with all Ford trucks?
Thanks
John
