1990 Lincoln Town Car vibration Sign In

5.0 liter V8
54000 miles

Hello, I've been noticing a vibration at around 55 mph and up in my car. It seems to happen more when im coasting down a hill rather than when i have my foot on the gas. It's hard for me to say exactly where the vibration is coming from but if i put my hand on the floor i can feel it more. Not sure if this matters or not but cruise control is usually on when i feel it. One last piece of information, the day i started feeling the vibration was the same day i ran over a board that somehow flipped up and hit the underside of my car fairly hard. I have been noticing a squeaking sort of noise when at slow speeds going over bumps also, I dont know if the two issues could be related.

Here is what i have checked and know is not the problem: Tires are balanced, Motor mount is good, U-joints are good.

Thank you to any responses, I've been trying to figure this out for a while now.

How did you conclude that the u-joints were good?

Yup again today. If you didn't take driveshaft out to check U-joints it's not conclusive on car,
