but really i think its one of those things you just cant fix! our 65 did it too!

so there is no way to tighten it up

Tim175 · « **Reply #4 on:** July 22, 2009, 12:45:36 PM »

I don't think so because mine are as tight as i can get them without cracking anything and it still vibrates so im not sure

My mirrors don't vibrate. Have you had the front end aligned lately?

Tim175 · « **Reply #6 on:** July 22, 2009, 03:17:37 PM »

I haven't haha my car vibrates so bad. my shocks are all original as well.

Then I would start with new shocks (KyB) and get the front aligned.

Accident? What happened?

Tim175 · « **Reply #10 on:** July 22, 2009, 04:13:13 PM »

it wasn't a car accident. i was at a buddy's house and he was playin with his BB gun and the clip was empty but there was a BB in the chamber and he fired it thinking it was empty and i happened to be at the wrong place and the wrong time and got shot in the eye from about 3 feet away. spent 10 days in the hospital and lost partial vision in my eye. not fun

Soaring · « **Reply #12 on:** July 22, 2009, 04:35:46 PM »

You are lucky to have only a partial vision impair.

Tim175 · « **Reply #13 on:** July 22, 2009, 04:41:40 PM »

yeah i know. i sill have a higher chance than normal of developing glaucoma and i still could become legally blind in that eye at anytime. but im still very lucky considering

I have a pretty nice back yard with oak trees and nice green grass, and so I have bird feeders out to attract the native birds. However, we have a black bird we call a Gackle that sloshes out all the water in the bird bath and has a real nasty voice. Well, I keep a BB gun on the outdoor table and pop their ass whenever I get the chance to run them off. I have a safety button on it that I trip every time I get through using it. My grandkids are not allowed to touch it. It is a weapon, and will cause damage. All weapons should be considered loaded at all times, and never point a weapon at anything you don't want to kill. Sorry about the rant. I served in Vietnam.

Tim175 · « **Reply #15 on:** July 22, 2009, 05:09:54 PM »

I agree with you 100%. and thanks for serving!

alright now back to the mirror it is the worst at idle so it not the alignment

Soaring · « **Reply #17 on:** July 22, 2009, 07:05:38 PM »

Then, your engine needs a tune-up.

69fast · « **Reply #18 on:** July 23, 2009, 06:52:46 PM »

brand new engine bud

Soaring · « **Reply #19 on:** July 23, 2009, 07:19:48 PM »

Brand new engines need to be broken in, then tuned. Have you done either? You may even have a broken motor mount. Vibrations coming from a tuned engine is not normal. The only thing that can cause vibrations at idle is the engine or a broken motor mount.
On Edit: Do you have a lopey cam in there? If that is the case, then why do you need a mirror anyway? You don't care what is behind you.
