I have this weird pulsating on all three of my pedals ( It feels like a nasty flat spot in the tires).It is most noticeable on the clutch and gas pedals. As I go faster the pulsating gets worse (around 50 to 80). The weird part is I can ONLY feel this on the pedals and a little bit on the floor beneath. I cannot feel it in the steering wheel, stick shift, e-brake and you cant feel it if you're sitting the passenger seat? Now, I have replaced a shit load of stuff trying to pin point this problem. Here are the things I THINK I can rule out. New steering rack and pinion, inner and outer tie-rod ends, ball joints, sway-bar end-links/bushings, Motor and tranny mounts and the u-joints in the drive shaft. I have inspected the wheel barrings and appear to be good. SOOOO I guess it's not the suspension <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> . I'm out of ideas, ANY INPUT will be greatly appreciated............... Thanks guys. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>hard jokur</b> <br /><small>Member # 3360</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(2009,5,6,5,15,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> check your drive shaft, you might have a bad u-joint or like mine it was bent.<br /> <br /> <small>[ June 06, 2009, 05:18 AM: Message edited by: hard jokur ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>six 5.0</b> <br /><small>Member # 3153</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(2009,5,6,5,19,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> There new? <br />PS, the car is LOW...
