First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... Chris, Thanks for the input, I will start pulling tires and checking them out...HOPE IT WORKS!!! I will sure feel like an idiot if that is what it is. It's just too easy...for all the hair I have pulled so far... I still am going ahead with the front end kit, the company I am considering is performance Suspension Technology, Here's the kit http://www.p-s-t.com/pc-3790-30-pontiac-firebird-1967-81.aspx Anybody do business with these guys before?

David, I had this exact problem a few months back on my original 69. The car had been sitting outside in one spot for five years, so I suspected the tires. I went to the tire shop and had them balanced, but this didn't help. I drove it like this for another month or so until I had finished restoring a set of 15x7 Rally IIs. I had a new set of tires mounted on the new wheels, and the problem went away. After closer inspection, I had a tire that was out of round. The tire was balanced properly, but it still caused all kinds of nasty vibrations. If you're running an old set of tires, this would be the first thing I would look at. There was one good thing about the vibration though. It would have taken me a while to dig that mouse nest out from behind the dash, but fortunately it was shaken right out into the floor. Every dark cloud has a silver lining...

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? 67 400 coupe David Meyer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Submissions to Firebird-L: <[email protected]> Unsubscribe from Firebird-L: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Help: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/firebird/Firebird-L.html> Classifieds: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/ubb/> Owner Pictures: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/show/> Donations: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/store/cart.mv?999999> FGF Merchandise: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/store> --------------------------------------------------------------------- This email has been scanned for Virus and Spam content by Wood Group. --------------------------------------------------------------------- "This e-mail and any attachments may contain confidential and privileged information.
