vibration problem
Range Rover Blues:
If you've got the ABS axle and have the roller bearings on the CV it's easy, they will collapse. Some had a solid bronze bush-bearing but I think that was Defender.
On the RRC without ABS you will find either a solid bronze bush or a laminted one on later models with dimples in the surface to hold oil It the cv is very loose in this it's toast but TBH it has to wear a lot, unless it's broken up. There is also a bronze bush inside the swivel to axle flange to support the half shaft on non-ABS axles, check this too.
Wheel bearings, I know you swapped them but just check they havn't crept as you were driving. Did you fit branded ones? hong-kong fuey ones don't have such a good reputation for longevity.

cheers mate :wink: ...mines the 200 tdi on a k plate so i would assume that its the older stuff fitted....... i definatly dont have the posh ABS :lol: :lol: ...i will have a look as soon as i get a chance.....all very good ideas that i havent checked yet. :wink: ....the bearings i fitted were quality ones. although i cant remember the name now for the life of me :roll: ....looks like im gonna get covered in one shot again :D :D
i do need to get to the bottom of this as its slowly shaking all my rust out :D :D ....

Dennis, can you tell me a little more about the symptoms as I recently broke down in France with very similar problems however my vibration got so bad that I had to stop as it didn't feel safe with a 4 Yr old in the back.
A French mechanic has checked the vehicle and simply says there is no problem and I can collect it!
I am a little concerned as I don't want to drive the 900 miles home if it a serious problem.
Have you driven it without the front prop as mentioned earlier?
wizard:
I had a similar problem (haven't we all) i would have put money on it being a wheel bearing, infact i changed both front sets twice.
Each front hub has 5 bearings.
two "wheel bearings, a needle roller bearing that sits between the two wheel bearings, Item 16 in the pic, and two swivel hub bearings (top & bottom)
I found that the cause of my very bad vibration was the bush on the panhard rod. Take the panhard rod off and check the bush and bolts.
regards
wizard :twisted:
