My 03 Excursion Diesel 2X4 has been in the shop 6 or 7 times for vehicle vibration, steering wheel, floor board and seats vibrate. I've exhausted recourses at ford so now I'm off to Pirelli ?

Has anybody had this problem ?

 

Can you elaborate on the vibration for us?

 

Vibration is the worst at 65 - 85 MPH. Steering wheel vibrates like the wheels are not balances. If no one is in the seats they vibrate like there going to come off their hinges ! I can feel and see my legs vibrating from the floor board and the seat ..... Oh ya, my Perili's are wearing on the outer edges when on the front .

 

I read on another post (don't ask me which one) that somebody was able to get Ford to take their X back because they could not resolve the vibration issue. On the other hand, I've heard of fairly new X's developing a vibration that turned out to be the tranny's output shaft and the differential's pinion shaft being at two different angles relative to the horizon.

 

I've got 7000 plus miles on my Perilli Scorpions with no problems, very little wear and a smooth ride. There is a little, very little, vibration that starts around 80-85.

 

hello have 04 excursion diesal 78,000 miles when i bought truck from dealer had new but cheap tires they send vibration through steering wheel 55-60 had them balanced vibration gone does not last vibration returns also road condition effect vibration steering will be smooth next stretch road starts to vibrate when i turn steering wheel vibration is felt more had tires road force balanced fixed problem one day vibration back different speeds less scwab checked front end said no problems bad tires replaced with toyo highway first day ok vibration back not as bad any ideas

to the op - I returned my Pirrelli 285's as soon as I got back from the new trip with them

they were not load range e's and sidewalls were too weak for my 05 Ex...

 

What wheels do you have? Can they be balanced with weights on the rim or do they take stick-on weights inside?

 

Talk about an old thread. Wow almost 5 years old.
Nevertheless I haven't heard much good about the pirellis but I may try Michelin next time. Suggestions?

 

Neal,
