    I retorqued the bearings (17 ft-lbs) and the movement in the front wheels is gone. However, the vibration remains. I will take a look at the driveline and rear axle per suggestion.

    Vibration at 45-55mph

    I have done some searching and came back with a lot of results. It will take time to weed through it.

    New from Savannah, GA

    I bought a 2003 Sport Trac XLT on Saturday. It is green with 150k miles on it. I think that I got a good deal on it and the AC works very well which is important in Savannah. I had to fill it up from almost empty ($80) which was painful. Besides driving like a grandma, are there any...
