front end vibration
Hey, folks.
I've struggled with this problem for as long as I've had the car, but I figured I'd throw it out to you guys to see what you think.
The Cougar has a bad front end vibration at moderate to high speeds (you can start feeling it at 50 or so, and it gets worse from there).
Does anyone else have this problem with their LTD II based car? Even better, has anyone had this problem and managed to fix it? I've replaced the wheels and tires, the idler arm, the radius arm bushings, and the sway bar bushings thus far. Still no good. I want to put a bushing kit in it, but I want to be certain before I spend over $200 that it'll fix the problem. Does anyone think that it might be a problem with the ford steering box? I've been kicking around the idea of getting a saginaw 800-style box out of a Ranchero and putting Gen. 2 Camaro steering box guts in it... do you think this might fix or help the problem? Has anyone put a steering damper on their car with any success? Any thoughts/comments/suggestions would be appreciated.
Mike
