Shaking Disco mk1 1997

(1/4) > >>

Disco Bristol:
Recently, when I am driving on road and I go over a small bump or a man hole cover the steering shakes a lot. Also when I go at speeds over 55mph it starts to vibrate too. I am assured the wheels are balanced perfectly by someone Itrust.

I have just had the wheels balanced.

I have checked the steering damper and it is well secured and is only about 2 months old.

What should I check? What is it likely to be?

TimM:
Does the vibration happen under load? If so, what happens if you back off?

If it stops, try the U/J's on the front prop, or look for excessive cracking on the donut on the rear prop.

Disco Bristol:
Now that you mention it, I think there is a difference when I am accelerating, decelerating and free wheeling.

Disco Bristol:
The U/J is the interesting coupling that collects the prop shaft to the axle??

TimM:
There is one at either end of the prop on the front, and one at the front of the rear, the donut is the rubber link at the back.

Try getting hold of the prop and seeing if it rattles.
