hi all, i got a 88 turbo which just started to give me some bad vibrations, the drive shaft is fine along with the u-jionts. no play was found on these items, also notcied that when it is cold outside and i turn the car on and move the steering wheel, i hear a bad clicking sound from what i think is the rack and pinion, and thought guys???

Still could be the u joints though.

thanks, i got to see whats the deal, i have dumped a nice penny into my car to have it rattle this way

 

Check your transmission mounts as per FSM instructions. I had the same vibration problem and new trans mounts cleared it up.

 

Hey I'm dealing with the same kinda problem and just wondering, before you had changed the transmission mounts, did the shifter have a vibration through it?? mine doesn't make and significant vibrations so I still don't know what is making the vinration.

 

i dont really feel a vibration on the shifter, but man, the damn sterring wheel is feeling kinda ruff, this wednesday i am having the mounts pulled and welded. so i hope thats the deal, i was also told that the chime noise from my steering could be just old *** power steering fluid, i'll see whats the deal, thanks fot the info guys
