Help! I am getting a slight grinding feeling through the pedals and steering wheel at low speeds, not noise, just a seat of the pants feeling-vibration. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Mark

 

Have you had the front pads/rotors inspected lately?
That'd be my guess without looking at it.
Good luck and let us know.

 

Only have 14k on the truck, and wouldn't I get that only when braking?

Mark

 

i've got 18K and i've got 1mm left on my front pads.

might want to check them out

 

I have come down a few times from rather high speeds , guess its possible I have worn the pads a little.

mark: Because of your miles, I don't think it's your pads/rotors and you said you got the vibration feeling without braking. I think it may be in your steering gear box(not sure of the correct terminology, but it's the rusty 'box') or in your power steering pump???

Speaking of power steering pumps, do all Ls have noisey *** pumps or is it just mine?

 

I think it is ALL FORDS that have noisy pumps.
I know my two Rangers and two F150s had em.

 

I've felt a similar problem with the steering and brakes. The dealer looked at it and it was simply from the tires that were flatspotting on the outside edges of the front tires ( only 10K miles on em ). Put em on the back and"work" them down if you know what i mean. This solved the problem for me........

 

I have the same prob with my tires developing flat spots and making a "roaring" sound. For some reason it's only two. I move them to the back and "work them down" but it doesn't help. As soon as I put them back on the front the noise is back.

I originally thought it was caused by my shackles changing my pinion angle, but when I rotated my tires I realized what it really was.

 

Hey guys, does tire air pressure seem to change anything. I think I have the vibration you are talking about.

Just curious
