2003 F350 6L Diesel, 6 speed manual transmission. Vibration/noise right front when under medium to heavy acceleration, vibration/noise becomes very prominent starting at 1900 rpm in all gears (still can feel and hear it when slow acceleration). Vibration/noise goes away when turning left, much more prominent when turning right while in gear. Vibration/noise goes away when clutch is disengaged or in neutral while going straight or turning either direction. Any suggestions would be grateful. Thx Rob

Rob, assuming this is a 4X4? Sounds like a bearing. They can vibrate, snap, clunk, all kinds of terrible noises or vibrations.
Axle u joints will also do this. Is it all wheel drive?

    I will check the bearings and u joints. but would they not still make a noise when in nutral or clutch disengaged? I can understand the turning to take the load of suspected front end will make it dissapear. Oh one final thing I just had the cluch replace by DB Diesel...and now the howling sound and vibration are worse and start with less load/torque. Does this help you narow it down

  • Bosse Photos Nov 02, 2013

    Not necessarily, the bearings tend to bind when loaded. In nuetral there is no load, when turning the load shifts laterally. Jack the rig and block it. Once safe, try to rock the wheel top to bottom perpendicular to the side. Also examine the cv boots if equiped. Also note, when a bearing is going bad, they generate heat. Careful not to burn yourself. A great tool to have is a Harbor freight $40 temp gun, sometimes spots failing bearings fast.

SOURCE: Vibration through the car Transmission-motor Linkage?

Check to make sure both headlights are tight,,,when it rattles at idle go feel the headlight and hold it and see if the noise and vibration goes away,sometimes the headlight has too much clearance and causes a massive vibration,,if thats not it try...loosening all the motor mounts and rock the car back and forth and them retighten them,it reseetles the mounts and sometimes fixes the issue,,also check the lower engine and trans mounts for wear.

SOURCE: 2003 Hyundai Tiburon making a weird noise

Hello mpolci...The 2003 Tiburon was sold to the public with a defective clutch, it failed due to warpage and bad pressure plate... among other things. There are MANY class action lawsuits. Did you resurface or replace the flywheel when the clutch was replaced? Did you go with an aftermarket clutch kit, or factory? Also the slave cylinder on the 03 was known to have a defective valve.
You can try checking the levels and bleeding the system and if you still have problems, then it could be a release bearing, a loose clutch pad, or a broken pressure plate spring....If the clutch is still under warranty, i would return it to the installer.
Good luck, i hope this helps...please rate me a fixya.

2003 Mitsubishi Outlander Grating Noise, Front Struts?

It very well could be the strut.
smaller chance could be the CV axle.
Also have the splash guards/heat shields checked to make sure they are all tight in place.

Serious vibration when accelerating or holding speed; smooth when coasting

Hello,

If problem only occurs 'under power' sounds like a u-joint (driveline - rear wheel drive) or a cv-axle (front wheel drive). Check for excessive play, fluid, boot tear and breakage.

Medium vibration coming from the front and through steering during braking from high speed.

2 things spring to mind. If stopping under heavy brakes ,the abs could be working giving you the impression of vibration But I am inclined to go with warped disc rotors. They give the impression of pulsations under you foot and will vibrate the steering to a degree. Check discs for condition ans check pads for lining thickness Anything under 1/4 of original thickness should be replaced

Loud Vibration / Sound Under Acceleration And Starting Engine.

Get the engine mounts checked. A bad mount may allow part of the engine to lie on a body or frame part, allowing engine vibrations to become very loud. Torquing of the engine (under load) can cause the same type problems.

Article 96-26-21 is being republished in its entirety as part of a consolidated 7.3L diagnostic aid booklet.
ISSUE
Some vehicles with transmissions built prior to 11/13/95 (5L13) may exhibit a driveline resonance/vibration between 1400 and 2000 RPM with the torque convertor engaged. This may be caused by the torque converter.
ACTION
Prior to torque converter replacement, refer to the following Service Procedure for details to verify conditions.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Verify the resonance/vibration does not occur in neutral and is most noticeable between 1400 and 2000 RPM with the converter clutch engaged during medium to heavy throttle conditions. Also watch for the vibration to diminish at engine speeds lower than 1400 and higher than 2000 RPM. If the concern meets all of these conditions and the transmission has a built date prior to 11/13/95 (5L13), replace the torque converter. Refer to the appropriate Service Manual for removal and installation procedures.
2. If the vibration concerns do not meet the conditions, check for non-factory installed items that could affect driveline and verify proper installation. Also refer to the appropriate Service Manual, Section 05-00 for diagnosis and testing.

Got a tough one: Tacoma starts vibrating only while accerating

I think its your gearbox as what you've saying is that you were drive with heavy moving trailer across the country and in the mountains it happiened i believe its friction rings in your gearbox what you've done calls RAPE GEARBOX i'll explane to you why

what is friction rings its a metal made rings inside your gearbox that are spinning. every time you switch your speed u said u've got 6-speed manual transmittion which means there are 12 friction rings on each of the speed + rear speed (R) now what happiens when you going up hill oil cerculation going faster as frictions spin faster but if you have not enough oil comming into the frictions then they start to rub on each other and they die thats maybewhy u have vibration

This is just my opinion
