vibration at 50 mph plus help if you please

<< < (3/4) > >>

Wanderer:
You can do the front bearing on the transfer box without taking the box out but it is a pig of a job and entails removing the front output housing which then is as bad a job as removing the whole box and doing it on the bench.

Usually if the front bearing is a problem it (in my case at least) takes out the output flange seal in double quick time. I did my bearing and out it all back together. It made no difference to the oscillations on the propshaft.

I've ended up putting the old radius arms back on, which throws the castor angle out, while I sourse a double cardon prop and flange.

Yes I'm still getting to grips with that one myself.  Thing is when you lift the front of the car that offset in the UJs has to change anyway....It's all rather complicated :(bloodshot):

Cardan is the way to go.

Wanderer:
Now if we could move the t box further back to even out the length of both propshafts.....
The rear one laughs at the lift because it's longer. MMmmmmm 130 Disco?
Only joking.... I think... You'd need lonmg legs to get to the pedals... :lol:

Range Rover Blues:
But both props are roughly the same length as the respective radius arms, by design.  Oddly though tis would help balance the front UJ angles.

Best left to the Bolwer Tomcats though I think.

muddysteve:
well it wasnt the output bearing  :x  my pocket now £90 lighter and i've still got the vibration  :evil:

Its going back in tomorrow for the new prop to be replaced with a new prop beause i'm sure the new prop they fitted was a duffer, if i pack the ujs with grease it doesnt vibrate for a mile or so then it comes back  :roll:

wish me luck
