vibration problem
Caterman:
just found spring issue 5 2006 of LRO page 210, what is purpose of heavy metal cylindrical item close to font diff. reply is it is a harmonic damper to reduce vibration on front axle. :!: any use to you, i have one on my disco.
Range Rover Blues:
RRC didn't have them untill the (metric) EFi modles with thicker props. I've binned mine and it doens't make that much difference, it's not the cause here I feel.
I'm going to suggest you try driving with the front prop removed (and difflock of course) to see if it goes away, then try refitting that and removing the rear.

hi mate.well ive done as you said..... no difference at all im afraid. still got the vibration coming up through the steering and the whole truck...
i have just been under the disco again and used a pry bar in the bushes on the panard rod. they dont feel too bad to be honest....about eaqual both sides. maybe a little soft. i might put another steering damper on her anyway just to be sure. the front steering bar seems alittle graity.... ie the ball joints seem seem like they bind slightly but still move. the rear tie rod bar seems ok and nice and smooth. im slowly loosing the will to live with this.......no idea where to go next :( :( :(
