Re: Dash vibrating?
Check your tires for wear or busted radials, tire air pressure and correct wheel balancing. Everytime over the last 15 years when I had that problem one of the three was the cause.

Re: Dash vibrating?
Mine doesnt do that but everytime I hit a bump in the road the dashboard just bounces all over the place. So yeah what can we do to fix this?

Tires. I bet my lunch you need to start there. It is amazing what a new set will do for the handling of our cars. My 92 was doing that in the spring. I got a new set of tires and viola, I could let go of my wheel and for at least a mile my car will run true with no shake of the dash or drifting.

Re: Dash vibrating?
There are 4 screws in the top - they are in the defroster vents, 2 in each vent. And then there's 6-8 screws under the dash lip, all the way across the front. They all take 7mm socket.
For the OP, I agree with 86niterider - sounds like a balancing issue - make sure you get spin balanced and not bubble balanced.

Re: Dash vibrating?
Do you have all the screws in place? Are they stripped?

Re: Dash vibrating?
JY has tons of them, otherwise take out one, careful to not drop one down a vent, and take it to the store with you. Might try small washers, size depends on how big the holes are now

Junk Yard. Probably easier to take one that's still attached to your dash to your parts store

Re: Dash vibrating?
Thats what I was thinking. There is a you pull it about 4 miles away but I heard they have bad service either way I have always wanted to see what they got.
