Bad Vibrations

(1/4) > >>

zulublue:
I have a 90 Truck Cab and when I put my foot down I get lots of vibration though out the motor, if I then take my foot off the gas pedal its as smooth as anything I know the props need replacing, do you think it is just the props causing this or could it be something else.

It has a 2" OME lift on it.

BK:
Universal joint on the prop,my disco did the same

Agreed ... first thing to check.

Do the props need replacing or just the UJs?

UJs are any easy replacement if you take your time (even I can do them).

If you have to replace the props you might want to consider a wide angle yoke for the front as you have a lift. Kensons in wendsbury sold me one for £140.

zulublue:
Thanks Bob, I was looking at the Gwyn Lewis ones for £160, yes I do need wide angle, do you just need this on the front, or does the same apply to the rear?

L90OOK:
Zulublue I have run OME +2" suspension for 6years with no adverse affect on UJ's...although for some reason all Landy's seem to differ  :roll:
Have you put castor correction arms/bushes in?  If so then a Double Cardon Prop may be needed.

First try replacing the UJ...easy & cheap  :D
