Center Console Vibration

is driving me crazy. Just started about 5K ago. It is at all speeds, and the console gets to bounceing up and down about a 1 1/2" if I do not keep my arm on it. Even with my arm on it, it vibrates left/right about 1/4" that I can not stop. I can not figure on how to tighten down. There does not seem to be any other vibration issues ( steering, ect. )

F350 DRW 7.3L with 188K on it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thx's.

Interested to see what you find cause mine vibrates pretty good too. Might be because of the bigger tires im running.

Set a case of your favorite brew on top of it - Just a temporary fix there - Would guess bolts too. Sorry - could'nt resist !

No Avail, everything seems tight. it is as the console pivots loosened.

Thx's, Fred.

My guess is that you lost some weights from one of your rear tires. Get then rebalanced and if you want get the liquid put in your tires. I don't recall what its called. but it will help keep your tires better balanced.
