Hi,
When I start my car up in the morning lately, I have a bad vibration noise coming from around the front, passenger side of the car. If I back up, with it when its still "cold" it makes a horrible vibration noise but when put in drive it stops. Sometimes the vibration also sounds like its coming from the middle of the front of my car. It had been in a previous accident before I bought it and I also hit a curb divider well over a year ago because I didn't realize it was in front of my car. Just kind of curious to what it may be. It seems to drive ok and after it warms up for a few minutes, I do not hear the vibration noise again.

More than likely this is a motor mount issue.

However, here are a couple guides that will help with getting us started to figure this out:

If this is a mount issue then we will need to replace them and these guides will help with this:

I also attached the info from the manual on this which Ford actually released a TSB for this issue.

So let's run through this info and let us know if you have other questions.

Thanks
