Vibration?

<< < (2/2)

Budgie:
Have you checked the swivelhousing preload?

Just jack one front wheel, grab the tyre at the 12 & 6 o'clock positions and wiggle. If there's movement then your swivel pins/bearings are loose, it's sometimes best to get someone else to lay under the front and watch for movement on the large seal on the chrome swivel.  :wink:

Bob696:
cheers budgie. Everything appears to be rock steady. I have some doubts about the one wheel as it looks like one of the wieghts MAY be missing (but not totaly convinced), I swopt it with the spare and and will check it on the drive to work tomorrow.

davidlandy:
had  a vibration from mine.  turned out to be the raduis arm bushes worn out.  

you can tell by seeing if the diff raises and lowers when somebody else applies drive/brakes (be careful)

the symptoms where a vibration along with a knocking from under the passenger seat area. Also when braking and stopping you could feel the axle twist back into place when  the brake pedal was released.

hope this make sense

 :D
