Ford 6 Cylinder
1965 Ford Falcon Straight 6 engine, can anyone help?
Lately it has been making an odd noise whenever I hit 45mph or more. It sounds like something is vibrating. Does anyone know what this could be? Thanks guys. Its Automatic, and it recently started to vibrate while in Neutral as well. I can drive through it but it's still got me worried. My steering wheel does not vibrate so I don't think it's got anything to do with that. The noise comes from the front. if I'm driving under 40, it does not vibrate. It's just a sound, the car itself does does not vibrate.

- drop in a 302 or 351
- Could you give some more info, like accelerating, steady speed, decel? Stick or automatic? What gear? Can you drive through it, like speeding up to 55 or 60 and it deminishes? Does it come from the front, maybe feel it in the steering wheel, or the back? Is it only in a straight line or when you turn as well? Get more specific please.
- U-joints on the drive shaft are worn. With it in neutral, parking brake set, slide under it and try to shake the drive shaft. If it moves at all, replace them.
- Are you saying it sounds like or you can feel it vibrating or both? If you can elaborate a little it would help.
