I have been having troubles with my car shaking at higher speeds. It is similar to having the tires out of balance except it is intermittent.
When I had my car inspected last month, I told the mechanic about the problem I was having. I had him rebalance the tires and check out the car. He called me when the car was being inspected and told me that the front two bolts for the IRS were missing.
The local Ford Dealership was the last one to work on the car when they were trying to fix the creaking and wheel hop in the rear end. Apparently they had not tightened up the two front IRS bolts. The nuts fell off both bolts. The one bolt bounced out, and the other one was just bouncing around. I had driven the car for over a year this way.
I had approached the dealership about the problem and showed them the one remaining bolt, some pictures and a copy of my bill. They reluctantly reimbursed me because of how long it had been since the work was done at the dealership. The reimbursed me for the labor $70 but did not pay the $30 for the bolts.
