Author Topic: Weird shake at 65mph while slowing down? 94Blackout ¯ Member # 2541 posted                              Seems like maybe a d/s issue? Its in my 2001 F-150, acceleration through any speed its fine, however on the freeway when I let off the gas, going from 65mph down to about 55mph there is a vibration I can feel in my steering wheel and a little in my seat. D/S, something loose? Truck has a 4" lift and 33's, not sure if that makes a difference... -------------------- 87 5.0 LX: Exploded 94 Cobra: Totalled 94 GT Vert: Rear ended 98 Charged GT: Sold 65-67 2+2 Fastback: Someday...

Those could be the only two reasons, right? -------------------- 87 5.0 LX: Exploded 94 Cobra: Totalled 94 GT Vert: Rear ended 98 Charged GT: Sold 65-67 2+2 Fastback: Someday...

I only had 3, and one of those was even loose! WTF!
