Hood movments

[gural]

Dear All

Lastly i have noticed that when i am going with some higher speeds I see (or got the feeling) that my hood is moving / vibrating
and as fare i go i see it every time
it is a very unplasant feeling

I read on Mustang forum (expedition in my country is not in offical sale - so it is rather rare car) that those big hood have it like that and it is normal...

Do You have it also??

Yes it does. It adds no structural rigidity, it is as thin and light as possible, so at higher speeds, and/or windy days, it tends to vibrate slightly.

Yes, that's the way they're made. Been discussed on here for years. Wait until you pass a semi going the other way on a two lane road, each going 60 mph. You'll be amazed it doesn't come open or fly off.

Open the hood, there's two contact points, one on either side, that touch the hood. You can rotate them (threaded stud) higher to lessen the hood vibration.

To ease your mind, ny dads 22 escalades hood does the same.

What year expedition? My hood doesn't vibrate or move when im on the highway.. I have a 2019

Wait til u get it on the highway and have wind gusts and semi's. It looks like it might fly off.

2019
but in Europe we go a little bit faster

Yeah in cusins Mustang at 140 it vibrates amazingly

in my Exp it start to vibrate when it over 70
If its normal then I need to get used to it...

I go 85 on a long stretch of highway that's posted 75, and some sections could use a re-paving; never detected even the slightest hood vibration.

I notmally travel anywhere from 65 to 150 mph on the highway and have never felt or see any hood vibrations

That's pretty impressive that you can get your truck up to 150 mph.....does it have a flux capacitor and a Mr. Fusion?

Yes

Well, if you aren’t paying attention to how fast you are going, you aren’t likely to notice the hood movement.

so today morning i have made some improvments

under the hood bumpers (those black rubber parts) i have putted 4 mm pads (like those you put under the chair legs)
and on the those bumpers on fender a made a one twist

effect - much lower vibration on the hood -> ever on 90 mph

I can't confirm or deny, but my 6000 pound aero brick tops out at 113 mph

huh I thought it was just mine, but yeah I've noticed a floppier than expected hood on my 2020.

My hood vibrates so much in the car wash it seems like it will fly off.

I have never felt or seen my hood vibrating on the highway going anwhere from 65 up to 90. I do know I have the under hood hood insulation pad. Do those that dont have this pad experience these issues ?

150? just an fyi, most tires for these are rated for 110-130 at the top, I wouldn't want to be in this aluminum bubble when one of those shreds off the wheel.

in relation to this post, I've posted video of it. mine worried me big time, the vibration was easily 2" up and down at 70mph with 40-50mph crosswinds. I was afraid the hood would break loose from the front hook. i could hear the extremely low pitched sound in the cabin, was like a giant woofer on the front of the car.
