Default Tru track vibration
Had the TrubTrack installed on my LowRider and it corners and tracks much better. However, it seems to resonate the engine vibration through the frame and the ride is rougher. The wife picked up on it in the first mile. Is this common?

No its not suppose to, my front mount was out of alignment. Had the shop re-adjust it and you'll be all set! I had my mechanic call true-track and took care of in 5min

Yes; it's either slightly out of alignment or the link(s) are not adjusted properly.

There is also an adjustment bolt in the front mount that could be too close to its stop. Very easy to adjust if you want to look at that yourself. Here's the installation sheet showing the adjustment.

Did you replace the motor mounts at the same time?

Didn't replace the motor mounts as they were checked by the Indy mechanic who installed the Tru Track. I'll check the alignment tomorrow. Good input guys!
