The famous vibration after doing a lift?

<< < (6/6)

nickW:
on the bearing, you can see movement where the red line is

nickW:
right its all apart now, im gonig to change the swivel, there were still some shims at the top of the pin, im going to change the bottom swivel bearing although i think its alright, the whell bearing are alright,

it came apart easier than i thought, cheers for the instructions budgie

Budgie:
No Problem Nick.  :D

It's always best to put new bearings in, it often saves you from doing the job twice!!  :wink:

nickW:
good point, i will keep the old ones just incase i need to change the wheel one day when nowhere is open or i am in the middle of nowhere

Range Rover Blues:
I used to get a droning on the front caused by the 2 inch lift, well before I fitted QT arms.  It didn't do it under power, or on overrun but if you tried to hold the speed under gentle throttle it droned.  The wera in the front drivetrain allows the backlash that contributes to the noise which is why it's worse on some cars than others, mine was worse.  I suspect with the clonking that yours is too.

I acheived a noticeable improvement by rotating the 2 halves of the front prop relative to one-another, by lining up the 2 UJs you can take out some of the pulsing that has been discussed to death many times.  The 2 UJs look out of phase on a standard prop but this is correct for a standard car, as soon as you lift it this is not the case.

So I'd say try that first, it costs nothing. :D my favouorite price.
