Rotors, bushings or something is loose.....does it get worse when you hit the brakes?

Torque Converter, are you crusiing at 70? Could it be more of a Tranny Shudder?

well im getting a whole new tranny and a stall so we will soon see if its that , as far as the roters yha there warped, but i dont think that would do it cuz it did it befor they were warped

Check the steering rack mounts, and also make sure the engine mounts arent shot...a vibrating engine can/will cause a shimmy in the wheel as well, as it tends to vibrate the whole K-member....and the steering shaft passes through the left(driver's) side exhaust manifold.

if the seat/floor shimmies... its usually driveline or rear of car
if the steering wheel shakes, it is usually the front.

damn it looks like this might be exspensive i will have the k member looked at any thing else it could be

i got the tranny rebuilt and the new converter on it , and it still shacks at hight speed? the only thing that i could think of is the air ride cant keep up with the suden changes in the road condition, is that posb?

you'd be amazed at new rotors will do for you.

Kick it...hard enough to fix the problem....but not enough to break somthing pritty

Posted by: Markviiiedrea

Well I have sworn at it enough, may be that's why its not working properly, but I do need new rotors I will try that, where can I get cheap slotted ones?

Posted by: daf290

I have the exact same problem, put new steering rack, 3 or 4 control arms, tie rod ends, tires, too many wheel balances to count, still shakes at 70-80, goes away after that.
Please let me know if you fix yours and what the problem was!

Agreed. For the Lincoln Mark VIII the brake rotors are very inexpensive. I dont even bother turning them, I buy new brake rotors when I replace the pads. Never any worries that way.

Posted by: Markviiiedrea

stock ones are ok, or go after market, if im going to be replaceing them offten i might as well go stock.

Posted by: Markviiiedrea

I put all new rotors on the car and I'm going to have new tires put on in a few days, it looks like the rotors where the main problem of the vibration.
