So for those who followed my great adventures of a rear vibration.... it turns out its not in the rear at all.... sadly i was deceived by my car.... it is in fact the front.. and is a axle/cv shaft. Need to find me passenger or both , whichever comes first... i will start with the passenger and go from there.

Ya so it was the hangar bearing in the passenger side causing the vibration? How did u figure if out?

Brought it in to a mechanic that a friend knows who is a master ford tech from god knows where , but he wanted to quiet down his work life. whatever that means , anyway he is in Bells corners at Dan's automotive , anyway he put it on the hoist , everything looked fine both front and back , so we went for a test drive and he immediatly felt the vibes , and after a few km , he flat out said axle, cv drive axle. So i am on the hunt for a new one or used one , or reman one , or cheap one , anything i can put on that won't shake , he said start with some side and if it till does it go to the other. i figure start with with the passenger side as its longer , and probably has a higher potential to have the vibes.

Give Mike at No Limits Autoparts a call for pricing. They're out by Albion and Leitrim road. He's always come through for me on parts pricing.

Call Mike, give him a shot. He has beat them for me in the past, but will be close.
