vibration on 300tdi disco at 18mph

<< < (2/3) > >>

NIVAD:
The first time it almost shook the steering wheel out of my hands.

How are the Swivel bearings and the Preload on them?

Beerangel:
Panard bushes breaking down... it was on mine anyway.. i spent a small fortune pretty much changing the entire front end of my car in the end it cost me 6.95, worth a look at least

NIVAD:
Put new bushes in th new adjustable panhard rod.

Driverside swivel hub was pitted so i did this the other week- no difference.

Thinking back i did fit some offroad tyres that where out of balance and run for a few hundred miles????

But no obvious play anywhere?

The next thing too change might be the steering arms and track rod ends for hd sumo bar?

And steering damper?

I did weld angle iron onto existing steering arms for strength?

cheers

Range Rover Blues:
Whether it's the cause of this problem or not, your prop is a problem.  You lift the car 2 " and the gearbox UJ goes fomr about 3Dgree to 6 or more.  The imbalance causes a pulsing and depending on other factors this becomes aparrent at some point or other.

Add castor correction and you straighten out the axle prop (and increasse the gearbox Uj angle).  Now you only have one UJ pulsing, the axle Uj is straight and as such not absorbing the pulses form the gearbox end.  Result, it gets a lot worse.

A wide-angle prop will do nothing, it still has UJs in it.  You need Cardan jointed prop from a TD5 or similar.


Ask me how I know.........
