Also have them check for any loose mounts eg control arms, shocks or sway bar.

Spoke to the service manager common problem not only in the Turbo's.

rainy Member 181 Member For: 21y 11m 21d Location: central coast Posted 10/02/04 05:40 AM Author Share Posted 10/02/04 05:40 AM does any one have a simalar problem to mine;Vibration occurs only when car is full.ie,4 or 5 people in it.It isnt a thing that happens at any given speed,just under acceleration,both moderately hard and flat to the floor.I dont think it is a wheel balance because it would be prominent at a given speed Any body had anything like this happen Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/5566-vibration/#findComment-91637 Share on other sites More sharing options...
