Explorer sport vibration

[HBMIkey1]

My girls electronic fuel pump died , had it towed to the dealer for repair. 850.00 later the car starts fine . Now there is a mild vibration while driving , the dealer did nothing to the front end , now I am wondering if something may have been tweaked when pulling the car onto the flatbed tow.

Any help is appreciated

Welcome to the forum!

Is the vibration present only between certain vehicle speeds? Does it seem to be related to engine speed? Have you found anything that causes the vibration to go away, such as applying brakes, shifting (carefully) to neutral while driving, etc.?

There are a lot of things that can cause vibrations, not many that would be related to a flatbed tow or changing the fuel pump. The more details you can provide regarding the specifics of the vibration, the better the forum will be able to address your concern.

Thanks Rod , it appears to vibrate when taking off and at slow speed but not when brakes are applied.

Is the vibration still present if you slightly rev the engine in park or neutral? A rev limiter will prevent you from revving the engine past 3000 or 3500 rpms. At that engine speed you will get a severe engine vibration, so do be thrown off by that.

Does the vibration go away once you get up to a certain speed? Does it get worse if you turn a corner at low speeds when the vibration is present? Again, the more detail, the better.

Well , my girl drove the vehicle again yesterday and stated that she could not feel it anymore , I then drove it and from what I can tell the problem did not seem as prevalent as before

Thanks for your input shorod.

If you didn't live in California I'd say you probably had a chunk of ice in one of the wheels that melted....
