its a 92 F22 if that even matters.

anyways my girls dash board shakes really bad after going over bumps. looks like it is going to fall apart. what do you guys think? motor mount? strut/shock?

any info would be helpful. thanks

 

Auto or stick...?
how fast does she go over them? anyway if it's a stick it could be that she gets scared of giving the car gas after the speed bump and when she does give it gas she hesitates with the clutch and that = could cause the shaking....?

I guess we need more info about that shaking..?

 

it is stick. ^^yeah i know what you mean. its not that. it is abnormal shaking, the whole dash board looks like its going to fall off!! it happens when she goes over bumps (not going that fast ~5mph) or on the freeway going 60mph and up.

i dont even know how she can drive like this.

 

You should check if the lugs on the tires are tight. I had the same problem and it was my lugs. The tires could be losse and cause shaking of the car and dash board.

 

Same thing happened to Sam's old girlfriends prelude. Turned out she left her vibrator on in the glove box.

If the shock was blown it would be a loud clunking noise.

no vibrator in there

you guys think it could be a motor mount? if so which one should i look out for?
thanks for the help.

 

does it shake more under braking or acceleration ? or is this not a factor.

not a factor.
she could just be at a constant 65mph and the **** would just shake, in all directions!!!

 

have you had the tires balanced and is the alignement ok?

unless the dash itself is loose (quite unlikely) there's got to be something loose.

are your cv joints ok? have a look at the front suspension...

this is a pretty vague problem, however most likely a vibration in the car is just coming out through a "flexible" part (the dash).

yes balanced and aligned.
cv joints look ok.
i know the shocks are bad, but would that have effect on the dash board skaking that bad?
thanks for the help

she just took me for a ride, and the WHOLE DASH just shakes, stops for about a half second, then starts shaking again.

 

rough or irratic idle?

at idle? there is no shaking going on at idle.

 

If its only happen over speed bump then I guess its due to the chasis flexing. My car had so much thing shaking, rattling, and squeeking all the time that I don't even bother with it instead just crank up the music. I believe that I partially deaf in my right ear...lol.

yeah it is over a speed bump and highway driving as well!
could shocks cause this? they are not blown. just weak.

 

motor mounts gone bad?
