what to do if my Ford Mustang S650 (2024-Present) is shaking at high speeds?

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure vehicle is parked on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
• Disconnect the battery if working on electronic components.

2. Tire Inspection and Replacement

• Inspect Tires:
  • Remove hubcaps or wheel covers if applicable.
  • Check each tire for uneven wear, damage, or bulges.
• Replace Tires if Necessary:
  • If tires are worn or damaged, remove them using a lug wrench.
  • Install new tires, ensuring they match the specifications for the Mustang S650.
  • Torque lug nuts to the manufacturer-recommended specifications (typically 100-120 ft-lbs).

3. Wheel Balancing

• Balance Wheels:
  • Mount each wheel and tire assembly on a wheel balancer.
  • Adjust weights as indicated by the balancer to achieve proper balance.
  • Reinstall balanced wheels on the vehicle.

4. Wheel Alignment

• Perform Wheel Alignment:
  • Use a four-wheel alignment machine to check and adjust camber, caster, and toe angles.
  • Follow manufacturer specifications for alignment settings.

5. Suspension Inspection and Repair

• Inspect Suspension:
  • Visually check all suspension components for leaks, cracks, or excessive wear.
  • Replace any damaged parts such as shock absorbers or control arms.
  • Ensure all bolts and fasteners are tightened to proper torque specifications.
