Not sure what type of vibration you mean but check your tires. Sometimes when the belts start to separate, it will cause the car to shake and wiggle as you're coming to a stop. Get with a buddy and swap out the tires for a test drive and see if that clears it up.

I had a bad vibration when I was slowing down and at about 65-75 mph took it to Ramsey's Performance they changed my u-joints. Still had a vibe slowing down and at 65-75 jacked my car up and spun the tires and they said I had a bent left axle. Time for a rear end upgrade now.

How cheap can anyone get an 8.8? installed?

not under braking just when the motor is not engaged.... it does it slightly at idle when you first stop, then after you sit for a minute it is gone.....



u joints huh????



BTW: i will still run it, nothings broke.... (YET)


alcohollica, i replaced the motor mounts..... they are fine still...... especially with that brand new motor sitting on them
