Do you have a stock one? The reason I say this is because I had a stock DS in my 93 and after the years of freeway driving it just wore out and became unbalanced. It vibrated the car around 75mph and it did it sometimes when at the top of 4th gear. I would bet money it is the DS or tranny/motor mounts. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>ShiftyGT</b> <br /><small>Member # 3862</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,5,26,13,28,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> probably the u joints on your drive shaft, you can replace those pretty easily.
