Re: *****SPAM***** [Chrysler300] excessive vibration on 300F car.

[John Spiers <spiers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had this happen on my first 300K  some 30 years ago - it was right after the very first time that I repacked the front wheel bearings.  I did not tighten the axle nut sufficiently on either side (just follow your workshop manual - I didn't), and the whole car shook violently at 25-35 MPH.  No noise or other symptoms were apparent.
   
  If I recall correctly, I think I got about a full turn one each stub axle nut.  It fixed the problem 100%.

I had this problem in my 1957 300-C conv. and it was not a problem as you  
outlined. It was the ball and trunion joint at the transmission end of the  dr
iveshaft.

For a  car to vibrate at only 20 MPH is a serious problem!  I'd start by  
checking every lug nut on every wheel.  Loosen then tighten each one,  
check rear axle nuts and front hubs for missing cotter pins (clue that  
the nut has loosened).  Next jack the car up and try to shake and  move 
the front wheels.  Try to shake the tie rods back and  forth,  rigorously 
shake all components of the steering system.   I doubt a driveline 
problem unless the drive shaft is bent, but if no  front end problem is 
found, and wheel nuts are ok put the car so both back  wheels are off the 
ground and start the motor and try to recreate the  problem  without 
hazarding a drive in it.  You might see a  broken transmission mount or 
hear obvious thudding.  Good  luck.
