Viberations comming from the drivetrain...
Well, ive ran out of ideas.. my truck makes a hell of alot of noises/viberations comming from the front end. If im doing 40, i will hear some noise and fell a little bit of viberaton at my heel. But if the road cuves to the left it all goes away.
It does all the same till about 70, then it feels like i have mud tires on. At around 80 it quiets back down. Again, if the road curves to the left it goes completely away.
anyone have/had this problem and what did you do to fix it? Any ideas would help out as well.
thanks!

dont hold me to it, but it sounds like the exact thing I had. not too much of a real bad vibration, but definetly could here it, mine wasnt all that bad, yours may just be in more of bad shape. was loud, but as you said, if I were to turn left it would go away, so check you drivers side wheel bearing, if thats the probly, you'll probly find the bearing either with no grease or locked up. not something you want to drive on for long, they do have a tendency to heat up and catch on fire.

I have left my truck at home, in va.. I am driving my parents spare car that they never drive..
Anyways, my dad is going to take it to my old autotech class.. they are gonna diag it.. then fix it.
ill be ready for a spring wharton trip I hope I will have my 2 meter license and setup in my truck by then

I just dealt with it. My 03 fx4 was like that since day one from the dealer, brand new.
