...and your problem is??

No. As suggested, post a video.

DieselDan44's suggestion would be the first thing I'd do, if I had a desire to stop the jiggling situation.

Then again, it could be a deterrent to your wife driving your car unless you're there to watch.

Yeah, I wasn't there but based on my knowledge of the car and the woman, it was left to right, up and down, and all around. What can I say... I was blessed twice over.

this is indeed an odd thread.. try adjusting your rack damper bolt, should smooth out what your referencing.

Good advice. Ironically named part in this case.

LMAO.... Man you guys are funny.... Still waiting on that there video????

So, you found that your boobs shook out of control as well? Yikes.

I also request a video and details that John requested--up/down, side to side? This is very important information to have.

For real, could you imagine a chick with big boobs going to the local indy and describing the symptoms this way. A very good way to get their attention.

In the meantime try motor mounts and shocks as suggested.

There's a guy in OD a lot who has an avatar of bouncing boobs, they go up and down. Maybe he captured video of a woman sitting in your car?

This thread sucks without a video!!!!!


Just kidding....

It does sound like engine mounts. I would do as recommened by the others here. Post a video of the jiggling boobs, then replace your motor mounts, and your engine shock mounts as well.

I had the emgine mounts and engine shock mounts go out on my 300D, and it wasnt way to difficult. there is a bolt on the drivers side mount thats kind of obstruted by the steering box. Getting that out was the most difficult part of the whole operation.

I would also reccomend replacing the transmiddion mount as well. I did mine when I did the engine mounts. I found that the tranny mount was broken as well. A family member has the same problem on his 300SD. He had the engine mounts replaced, but the tranny mount is shot as well.....

Once I got mine replaced, the engine is alot smoother and doesnt shake the car much at all.

Try adjusting the rack damper bolt, or replacing it. Fixed my 300TD!

This has to be the fastest response and most responses to a simple question, 'gotta be the subject.

I think I'll try the same thing next time I sell a car, an ebay ad with something about my wife's boobs jiggling would get more hits than the Pope's car!

Yes, We NEED to determine the exact frequency of this vibration.

Pa-leeeeze post a vid.

i bet you the oil cooler and lines need replacing too as long as you have the motor mount apart and out I still like 18 year old boobs that jiggle less i guess thats why we trade them in after 40 but alas i havnt seen any jiggle or not under my control in a while

We need a conversion chart:

Can I get a metric conversion? What would be the unit.

Also, could we spin off a synthetic jiggle vs conventional jiggle thread.


One last thought....if I adjust ALDA a quarter turn, does the jiggle go away......


Great humor here. I didn't know what to expect, although I need input.
