(I think)Has anyone else had the issue of a bad shake through the middle to rear of the car/ute at 80km/h or above.I have an XR6T ute if anyone is wondering.

So I had something custom made up instead, its bloody strong too!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They usually vibrate at 80km/h plus. Ford will fix it no worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird. But it is fixed now so that's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had ford have a look at it and they said it was fine. Now after some mods and heavy right foot here and there it has gotten a lot worse, It happens on takeoff and when I turn at low speeds, When it isn't under throttle. Any ideas?chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
