vibration problem
Range Rover Blues:
Or at least you'd know which end it was coming from. It could be something stupid like a collapsed CV support bearing, buckled wheel, mud in the rim, weak spot in the tyres, missing prop bolts, even a missing grease nipple.
Are you sure it's not a missfire in the engine?

cheers for the sudgestions guys..... i have rebuilt both props now.... :D ..... it was one of the first things i did. i have replaced all the bolts on the props too. replaced the front out put bearing on the transfere box ( loads of fun ) ....
the front nearside does feel a little weird while driving now. i cant describe it to be honest but it doesnt feel quite as tight as the offside while driving. when you hit a bump it gives you a little knock back.....just a tiny one. so i now know its coming from fron t nearside.
so where are the cv support bearings hiding then? :wink:
checked all the other bits so its got to be something that i havent checked yet.
slowly loosing the will to live as its been vibrating for 6 months now :lol: :lol: :lol:
Range Rover Blues:
Ok so time to check the wheel bearings. The CV support bearing is inside the stub axle, oddly enough around the end of the CV joint. Depending on what type of axles you have there are a variety of bearing types, 2 main ones on Disco and RRC. The roller bearings used on ABS axles tend to be the ones that colapse but on high mileage non-abd units the bronze bush bearing can wear away especially if the swivel oil has leaked away.

May sound mad but check your pully. as mine is slighty warped and it shakes the whole car. but you can only see the pully wobble when the engine is running. havent a clue how it got warped and all bolts are tight on it.
