Title: Vibrations through my 90
Post by: tjolliffe on February 17, 2008, 00:02:25

Hi all,
I've got a 200tdi converted 90. I've noticed recently vibrations/rumble when i'm driving along. It only happens between about 40-50mph, above or below that it's fine. At first i thought it mite be the tyres (they are MT's and werent balanced) so i had them balanced - still no difference. I know it's a land rover ect. but this is a little more than your average land rover vibrations. Any ideas? I'm thinking prop out of balance from off-roading possibly? How would I check this? Could it be anything else? Oh btw, UJ's are all fine and I doubt it's the gearbox/transfer box as these were recon recently.
Any help would be great!
Cheers

Props and knackered UJs are a favourite.  Stick it in difflock, then Drop one prop off completely and drive it.  Replace that prop then drop the other off, drive it.  Refit prop.

Does it drive any better with one or the other prop removed?

Remember to engage diff lock and leave it engaged unitl both props are refitted, otherwise you'll have no handbrake.
