First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... My FB does great until about 55-60 and then starts into a vibration that could rattle your teeth out. I have checked driveline, tire balance, rear end but cannot figure out what is causing it. I am in the process of ordering a front end kit and am hoping that solves the problem...any suggestions out there?

My FB with the 400 motor brings a lot of vibration and buzz through the seats, steering wheel, gear shifter, etc. It's nearly comparable to a motorcycle. This buzz is starting to affect the nerves in my lower back, giving me a prickling sensation when I drive. The car came with cheapo "Racing" bucket seats, $129 at Pep Boys. I've modified the driver's seat with a gel pad, but the buzz is still too intense. A new pair of "real" Firebird seats is $1359 at The Paddock. This is out of my price range, but would "real" seats make a difference in reducing vibration? Anyone else have a lot of vibration in their car? Is there perhaps a way to rubber-mount the motor or something like this? I'm a little concerned that the level of vibration could even knock something loose over time, so I'm careful to make sure that bolts are tight on a regular basis. I've been relying on this list a great deal. There's no one in my neck of the woods who understands this car, not even the mechanics I've worked with over the plast year. All your comments are gratefully received.
