Weird Wobble/Vibration??
Just the other day I starting feeling a weird wobble when I'm sitting still with my foot on the brake (like at a stop light). It's hard to describe, just a slight vibration, at first I turned the radio down figuring that was the cause. I don't feel it at all when cruising on the highway, and I have no idiot lights going off so I assume there are no codes in the computer.
I checked the plugs thinking maybe a wire was a little loose but they were all tight. I also checked all the fluids.
My next guess would be to start checking accessories, you think and alternator that was dying could cause this? Or perhaps a bad injector?
Any ideas?? Truck info - 95 F150 5.0/AODE with 4WD

COUPLE OF THOUGHTS, SINCE NO ONE ELSE HAS OFFERED ANY. 1. MAYBE A BROKEN OR BADLY WORN MOTOR OR TRANSMISSION MOUNT? DOES IT STILL DO THE SAME THING IN NEUTRAL? HOW ABOUT REVERSE? 2. POSSIBLY A POWER STEERING CHECK VALVE CHATTERING? DOES IT CHANGE IF YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL? GOOD LUCK. MIKE861943

Guess this falls under the always check the obvious first category. After I refueled this problem basically went away. I'm assuming I got some bad gas from where ever I filled up the time before last. I put in some fuel injector cleaner for good measure and all seems well now. Bad Gas Station
