[QUOTE="95PGTTech, post: 749132, member: 9525"] [b]June 22[/b] For the first time I bring the Mustang into the shop on a weekday - I was told it was OK and I really want to get some work done on this pig, but I don't want to overstep my bounds at the new job. I have from 5-7 to work on the car daily, I'll bring it in more and more often now that it seems I have broken the ice. I have been chasing a vibration at speed which I think was worsened by the installation of the solid rack bushings (as in, I feel it more). It's a steering wheel vibe that starts around 55mph and goes as high as 80mph that I've been able to do cruising. It does not go away if I push the clutch in or change throttle position or gear, and it doesn't seem to change if steering left, right, or straight. I thought it may have been play from that inner tie rod end as I am going down the road but I double checked and there is no more 3-9 play or 6-12 play in either wheel. The last time the tires were balanced was 3 years ago so I cleaned them off, took off all the sticky weights, and road force balanced the front two tires.
