Default 05 track edition vibration.

ok guys so i have a 05 track edition lowered on stance coilovers with 38mm and 25mm spacers. i have recently started having a vibration issue under acceleration. every time i get on it i get a vibrating/humming noise. it only happens when i really get on it or if im on the highway and accelerate. i have taken it to a shop and they looked at all the drivetrain and said nothing is wrong but it wasn't under load. does anyone have any ideas or experienced this before? this is annoying the hell out of me......

How's your diff mount look? Subframe mounts? Sounds like you think its coming from the backside but vibrations are more pronounced up front

haven't had a chance to look at all the diff mounts but there is no silicone drip anywhere. the vibrations are not that bad but not normal

I would check tires too, flat spots or a wheel weight that fell off. kinda hard to diagnose such a problem online.

did you ever find out what the problem was? I have an 03 and it seems to e doing the same thing. ( I don't want to jack your thread or anything, but you know the search ***** are everywhere) Anyways, I notice mine happens really only in 2nd or 3rd (the only gears I accelerate hard in, which is rarely) and it happens right after I let off the gas... I don't give it anymore gas and after a few seconds it goes away. Is this the same issue that you were having with yours? if so did you remedy it, and how. Thanks

Sound like wheel weight might be wrong. If it started after getting new tires? Or re-torque the lug nuts?
