ok so does not matter if moving or not I get a vibration coming through my steering wheel also can feel it through my feet no ABS light on dash at all all brake pad replaced, front rotors replaced, bugging the hell out of me I cannot find this vibration, I can be doing 50 MPH or 0 MPH and it does it at all times cold or warm or hot, NO steering issues no travel issues, (crab walk or bull dog walking) ONLY issue is that my speed control (cruise control) stooped working and I have been busting my balls over that too.....
no issues with speedometer no rough idles no other issues except stated......???

I can feel it vibrate the whole truck

ANYBODY else have/had this happening??

1995 Ford Ranger 4.0 Automatic 4X4 all wheel ABS

things I have done

replaced all pads
replaced ABS sensors in front
replace rotors and calipers
changed out sending unit top of brake cylinder (under hood)
bleed all brake cylinders with new dot brake fluid

There are many possible causes to this problem. One could be faulty steering dampers or tires and wheels need to be balanced.

You said it occurs when you are not moving. This may be a extreme trouble shooting idea but how about if you temporarily loosen the tensioner pulley, temporarily remove the serpentine belt, fire it up for a short time. See if the vibration is still there. Maybe a PS pump bearing or other accessory pulley bearing is bad or something is out of balance causing the vibration, also may be a loose torque converter,. Look underneath.

Yeah, sounds like something I read recently on here where the ps pump needed to be bled and was causing vibration...and someone posted a proper way to bleed power steering that used vacuum...

Might have been upwards of six months ago, but I remember seeing something like this...

Still having issues?

So i have bleed the steering system,
the issue still has the vibrating issues?
almost like slaming on the braks and the ASB is kicking in but not as strong,
I am at the point to where I think it could be the ABS control? has anyone had or felt this same issue?

Thanks Again For Any Help,

Robert

Have you tried pulling the fuse for the abs? (I'm good at asking the obvious questions).

When you changed the brake fluid, did you let the system go dry? Or just add new until it came out clear? I know Ford abs are sensitive to issues after being let go dry.
