Analysis of Vibration: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford Pickup, 2004 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2004 Ford F450 Super Duty, 2004 Ford Excursion, and 2004 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING: A vehicle equipped with a Ford Traction-Lok® differential or a Tractech® Truetrac® differential will always have both wheels driving. If only one wheel is raised off the floor and the rear axle is driven by the engine, the wheel on the floor could drive the vehicle off the stand or jack. Verify that both rear wheels are off the floor.

Few vibration conditions are caused by the front or rear axle. On a vibration concern, follow the diagnosis procedure in NOISE, VIBRATION & HARSHNESS unless there is a good reason to suspect the axle.
