I noticed yesterday that when I turn into a car spot and turn the wheel slightly the car shakes/vibrates. It probably shakes for a second or two. Ive also noticed that when I'm stopped at a light occasionally it would shake/vibrate as well.
Anyone have any ideas on what could cause this? Cheers |

How many revs are you doing at the time?
With a dirty ISC/Throttle Body you will notice a dip in revs when slowing down or turning at low/no speed I don't believe you're meaning rack rattle.

Rack Rattle is not common in falcons, it's more usually a commodore thing
its where you dry-steer and you get the front end jumping about slightly hard to describe

Just came back from a drive. When in P revs were at 800. When idling in D it was at 600 and when it vibrated as I parked it dropped to 400 for a second then back to 600.
Possible vacuum leak? BTW are those revs above in P and D normal? |
