These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello all, I'm coming here to ask if anyone has had this and what could be the possible cause. The situation: 2005 C4S Cab. with 63,000 I have an oscillating vibration that is driving me nuts. At freeway speeds the vibration goes up and down in one second intervals. The best way to explain it is like turning up the radio from quiet to loud for one second , then turning it down from loud to soft for another second. Keep doing this up and down every second. The vibration goes up and down in intensity. One second up, then one second down. I feel it in the seats and a little bit in the steering wheel. My radar detector vibrates back and forth as well. It is independent of whether I have the clutch in and coasting or under throttle. I have replaced the engine mounts, serpentine belt, lower and upper control arms, changed tanny and differential fluid and have had my tires road forced balanced. Original IMS. Could this be Tranny mounts? Or...... ? I am hoping someone can give me direction of where to look. Thank you in advance.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the replies. I was just reading about the Guibo disc symptoms. Seems like that could be it. Going to buy one and see. It's only $70.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just ordered the flex disc. Thanks for the link fpb111.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Well, I replaced the Guibo/flex disc today. I took it out on a spirited drive and the vibration is 95% gone. The Guibo I took off my car had already started to fail. Cracks and splits all over the disc. My car only has 65k miles on it. I think tranny mounts are the next replacement to try and get rid of the other 5%. Thanks again for the link! Love this forum.
