96 sho BAD VIBRATION ?

[allan greyling]

ok i have a 96 sho with 18300 miles on it i bought it about 8 months ago for $750 someone had really abused it so i am trying to bring it back. it runs fine and is fast as ****. but the proble is i recently took it to ford performance here in ga and spent $2300 to have the cams welded a 100k mile service ball joints and sway bar links and also sct tunning done on it.(thought this was kind of high?) anyway i will be driving down the road at a constant speed and the car will get a real bad shake or vibration hard to discribe it is not from the suspension it feels like it is from the engine. it almost feels like it is surging. if i either accelerate of decelerate it goes away. some days are better than others but it is very annoying. had the shop look at it they said it would go away with the service they performed it has not. please anyone some help??

Check the forward mounting bolts/nuts on both a-arms. I've seen the symptoms you describe when one of those bolts has worked loose.

I just had one in the garage for a similar vibration it turned out to be a axle. it would vibrate under load and would seem to go away under coast or low power.

i know this isnt really experience with an SHO here, but my Fiero had that same kind of problem and it turned out to be one of the CV axles as mentioned above. I replaced that and it was fine, not a big job or overly expensive really.
