the vibration is making me insane

[WILDACEX187]

so about a month ago my car started to vibrate really bad when going to about 35 mph. went to my boys shop put it on the lift and it seemed that the culprit was the tranny mount. changed it today with a peak performance mount but the vibration is still there and now its worse cuz of the stiff mount. wtf could it be? motor mounts? dunno if the motors mounts are to blame, when parked and i rev it the motor doesnt move. it doesnt move when i turn it on either. the mounts i have are polyurethane filled stock mounts. help pls before i go crazy

i just have the metal thing that doesnt even touch it. i dont have the rubber piece that was on the factory one. this just started happening a month ago though

ok lets start over :

carrier bearing check
transmission mount check
motor mounts ?
hubs ?


is it vibration or humming cuz i had some humming that turned out to be the rear bearing


cant you listen where its coming from ? its not helping with the exhaust right ?

mo the whole car vibrates so much that i cant hear the radio when driving at 50 mph. its like a fast vibration but strong at 50mph. its not going through the steering wheel like when my balljoints were gone. im going to take off my wheels tomorrow and put on my 7 spokes

if you have a one piece driveshaft you dont have a carrier. there is no need for it. if you still have the brackets, get rid of them.

did you check the universal joints? how about the rear wheel bearings? how bout the wheel balance(most likely rears if you dont feel it in the steering wheel), how about the pinion bearing in the diff? flat spot onyour tire? bad u-joint or out of balance axle.....


there are a million things it could be. jack the car up and start shaking things. if you buddy has a lift that will make life a lot easier.
