- Finally_TimeExplorerMine vibrated when I had a slow leak in a front tire.
- Jabrad_s_PapaExplorerI had a similar problem. I had a slight vibration. Lots of good thoughts on the boards. Ford even tried to figure it out. Checked tire balance. Checked the balance of the drive shaft. Then one day I was talking to a guy who said " sounds like your missing a plug". Sure enough, my # 8 plug was bad.
Does the vibration happen when you are going up a slight hill? When your motor is pulling harder? My steering wheel didn't pull, and the vibration wasn't visibly noticeable. But you could feel it.
Mine is a Ford F53 05 - wolfe10ExplorerWhat year? 1999-2001 has excessive clearance between wheel and hub-- there is a TSB from Ford that addresses this.
Sure it may be balance, but START by checking RUN-OUT. A perfectly balanced egg-- well, it will roll like an egg. - NAUTIQUEExplorer

Triton V10 = F53 Chasis - What year? - RayChezExplorerLot of good answers, but I would say tires need balancing or like somebody mentioned, you could have a tire separation.

- OnebootgoneExplorerIt started on the way home from fl when every one mentioned tires we were pushed off the road plenty of times by passing trucks an buses I'll ck there first ty
- Dutch_12078Explorer IIOne often overlooked cause of front end vibration or shimmy is a broken belt in one of the steer tires. An odd wavy tread wear pattern usually follows if the vehicle is driven enough following the onset of the problem. Both tires will have the wavy tread pattern, but the one with the bad belt will typically be more obvious.
- chuckftboyExplorerYou didn't say if this just started or you've always had vibration. If its a new vibration, maybe you made a recent change that caused it, maybe its as simple as throwing a balancing weight. Like others have suggested, it could be a lot of things. Just start with the easiest and work your way through.There is no easy answer.
