Rear end

mystang0673 · January 22nd, 2008, 08:19 AM

Ok... here is the deal... when i get my 02 gt close to 120-130 mph the rear end starts vibrating pretty badly. i dont do it often but i burried my speedo in my 97 and it was as smooth as can be and it kinda pisses me off that i now have a WAY faster car but kinda scared to get over 120. you guys think its a bent axle or something? what else could it be? It sounds like im riding on the rumble strip on the side of the interstate when i get up to high speeds.

might be your tires, or your driveshaft may be out of balance

First thing I would check is your wheel and tire balance.

it may be an obvious question, but are your tires speed rated to go that fast? It could be the tires making the noise.

Yea check if theyre even Z Rated tires, and check your tire PSI, you cant have low PSI when going high speeds..
