Front End shakes
 
My front end shakes at speed 70-77 mph. The steering wheel feels fine, no vibration there, but the right foot holds the gas pedal can feel the front end vibrate. Also feel it more when I let go the gas pedal at any speed above 55 mph.

I just wonder if this was caused from the linkage? My speedometer is 78K miles. Is this time to replace it yet? If so, What are the parts number for these? Thanks of everyone inputs.

does it do it in neutral

I don't know, It would be bad to throw in Neutral at such speed, 60 mph.

are you some kind of transmission engineer? you can put it in reverse, and it wouldnt do anything at that speed.

the manual says not to do it but it would be ok and not harmful to try and see if it can be something with the top gear in the tranny. if it goes away then you can say there is something wrong there. my guess is that it doesn't go away. and you have dropped a cell phone left in vibrate mode under the peddle. how much shaking? since its not in the steering wheel i guess you can rule out anything with suspension. how about when you brake. lightly / hard? what happens there?
