| Bad vibration from rear of truck 55-60 mph intermittent. ford state it is aftermarket tires. had truck in 2 times with factory tires and 3 times with new tires for same vibration. pinion angle changed twice on truck causing more vibrations that ford won't fix. now truck is leaking engine oil from rear main. i am afraid to take truck on long trips for fear of driveline failure. numerous complaints on web of same problem. why is ford not made to fix this issue?truck has 6,200 miles on it and almost a year old. this could be a big safety concern if driveline failure occurs at highway speeds. i have been an auto mechanic for 18 years at dealerships and i know a tire vibration from a driveline vibration. *jb | |||
