Vibrations

(1/2) > >>

Kenny:
The last few days the 90 has started vibrating when getting over 35, get to 40 and it still vibrates with a droning noise from down below.

I swapped a dodgy UJ which has not solved, topped up the DIFF and TRANSFER box, checked for anything loose, nothing.

It feels as if the wheel bearing on the rear off side is gone (wheels moves).

Any thoughts what could be causing my problem ? Could stiff UJ's cause this ?

TIA

timberdog:
if the wheel moves will probally be what you say..mine went last year

Edge:
Ive had noise vibration from x2 causes:-

1/ Dried mud throwing out the wheel balance.... vibration @ 50mph.

2/ Wheel bearings needed tightening... vibration @ 38mph.

Both of the above can be driven through to smooth running, not sure what yours may be if its continuous.

Berliner Beer:
Yep I had a similar problem. wheel bearings were on the way out. Had them all changed then still noticed a wobble at 60mph. Had the wheels balanced and it did the trick. Kwick fit couldnt do it thay could get my wheels on the balancer thingy!

Kenny:
See other post on this, vibration only occurs when accelerating, ease off the pedal and it stops, well reduces dramatically. Wondering now if I have used a knackered UJ, or the prop shatf(s) are on the way out.
