Hey guys! I have noticed that when I am at highway speeds, my bronco seems to shake a lot. It isn't shaking in the steering wheel at all (very minimal at least). I feel it more in my seat and can see all my other seats shaking like crazy. The weird thing is that it comes and goes. Sometimes I feel only a little bit of shaking, but a lot of times I will feel a good amount of shaking and it gets pretty annoying. Is this normal for a soft top?

I would take it to the dealer and see if they can reproduce it

Could be a wheel out of balance

I’m thinking checking wheel balance and lug nut torque right off the bat. My soft top Bronc doesn’t do that at all. Been on a couple of 500 mile road trips and haven’t experienced anything like that

Same as everyone else, my 4 door soft top does not do that and I have 13,000 miles on mine. Have the balance on all four wheels checked.

I had a similar problem recently after taking mine through the mud. The shake was really freakin bad. Fixed it by power washing the dried mud out of the wheels and all the sticks, mud, rocks out of the area between the front bash plate. Not sure if you have dirt/mud on the wheels or stuck inside the bash plate but if so, that might be an easy place to start.

Hi there. Can you send us a DM with your VIN and dealership info? I can look into this on my end.
