Thread: Bad Vibrations

Howdy!
It is a joe standard truck at the moment. In difflock the transfer case didn't leap about the same on the hoist but the vibration is still bad on the road. The general consensus is the front shaft output bearing.
The mechanics reckon it is good and has no rough spots. Maybe it is just best to change it.

OK all! Here's the latest!

I MADE them change the front output bearing today. It has made an 80-90% difference!!!! BUT, the vibration is just still there at the same speed but only just. Now, i'm going to have the driveshaft ballanced tomorrow to see if that is the problem and if it ain't, well I'm not sure what to do next as this small problem could stuff another bearing in not too many miles and we end up back at square 1.


I'll keep y'all posted....

Hi all,
Well, it is better now. The new genuine donut had torn. On with a new one! I had a couple of weights put on the driveshafts (which were straight). The weights were VERY small tho. Right from the off it was smooth! Now, all I can sense is the 55km/h vibration but it is had to differentiate from engine vibration.
Now, could a bush in the rear end be rsponsible? Maybe the locator arm bush or similar?

Thanks all!
