[QUOTE="Mike1261, post: 1452787, member: 23653"] So it turns out that the reason I had trouble narrowing down the shaking, was because the shaking was EVERYWHERE at ALL speeds. Solution: $22 for a pair of U Joints and an afternoon with a BFH :-D 3 of the 8 bearings were bad, and I've attached a pic of the really bad/bone dry/fell completely apart in my hand bearing lol. The worst bearing was the front bearing. Now with new U Joints, dash rattles, shifter shake, sideview mirror shake, and 75% of the reasons I hated the car were cured. Our daily is an 06 BMW X5, which has had its own long list of fun things I've fixed, and the Mustang really is just a winter car (Florida rains too much all summer to bother driving a convertible lol). So I've put less than 500 miles on the car since I bought it. Now with a freshly charged AC and new U Joints, I'll probably take it out more. Next weekend project is to line the car with sound deadener to make that exhaust drone more tolerable. Never was a fan of Flowmaster, but I'm not paying for a new exhaust at this point! Thanks y'all for all your feedback and food for thought. There's a lot more to do to this thing to get it to where I want it, but this $22 fix went a long way! [/QUOTE]
