87 t-bird vibration August 11, 2006, 04:55:07 PM I recently acquired an 87 t-bird with the 3.8 that I am really starting to like. One problem I just can't seem to figure is it has a vibration that comes and goes. It almost has the feel of warped rotors but it sometimes comes in when I am just cruising on the freeway. Seems to be centered under the center of the vehicle. Almost always happens when I take my foot off the accelerator. I had the trannie flushed and have tuned the engine which runs very smooth. I wonder if it might be u-joint? Any help? Quote Selected

brake Reply #2 – August 11, 2006, 06:56:54 PM Stepping on the brake seems to make the vibration worse. the vibration is more intense when braking, but does vibrate without the brake. Maybe it is rotors and u-joints. I don't know, could it be somthing in the trannie? Quote Selected
