I bought the car in August 07 with 49k miles. It had the vibration then, but I didn't think it was until 100Mph because the speedo was off due to a previous owner changing the rear end to 3.73. After getting the SCT tuner to adjust the speedo, it's annoying at 85Mph.
I can feel it at lower speeds, but I can really start to feel and hear it at 80 and at 85 it causes the mirrors (all 3) to vibrate.
I replaced the drivers side front wheel bearing when I first bought it. There was a noise, and it's now gone. Didn't help the vibration though.
The tires looked almost new, but I have had them balanced twice, no change there either.
I'm trying to isolate the problem. I don't notice any difference in the vibration if I put the clutch in, or even if I put it in neutral and let the clutch out.
Driveshaft?
Another wheel bearing?
Previous owner messed up the 3.73 installation?
Universal joint?
I just had the brakes replaced all around and the rear rotors turned. Just incase, covering all the bases. The car drives great otherwise.
Finally, is the stock 01 Cobra driveshaft Steel or Aluminum? There is a driveshaft shop in town, but they won't work on Aluminum and they don't work on cars, you have to take the driveshaft into them.
Thanks in advance.
