Thread: Vibration at 110 km/h.

The vibration is there pretty much all the time. It is not noticable until around 110km/h.

I have similar vibration feel, but at 140 km/h. It seems more evident on the left hand part of the D2, under my feeds. All engine/transfer mounts were changed recently. Currently running with a 1" lift, after some severe problems with a 2" lift.

If it's under load I would say its ur drive train check out all the common faults that are know!!! ASAP

G'day all.
I took the Disco for a run on the freeway this morning to try to pin point the vibration at 105-120km/h. I tried getting up to speed and engaging clutch, vibration there until speed dropped below 110. The same result was obtained when put into neutral, T/C in neutral, engine off and handbrake slightly pulled. Rev the TD5 in neutral, stopped, it's as smooth as a TD5 can be.
So, I'm thinking driveshaft imbalance, wheel balance out. It does not seem from these findings flywheel, clutch or G/box related.
Thoughts.....?

If all else fails, it could be your tyres. I've been chasing a vibration for a couple of months now and finally found it was the tyres after I rotated them and the vibration disappeared. I have a tyres with a fairly aggressive tread (Cooper ST Maxx) which are at least 4 years old. I can only think the compound is getting hard and the tread pattern creates a harmonic vibration at certain speeds. I am told the tread blocks can become slightly wedged as they wear and this can cause noise and vibration too.

Looking up a British LR forum, the consensus of opinion was uni joints and/or 'Donut'. Usually comes in between 100 and 115 and is a low-frequency but strong vibration.
Lifting a Disco will shorten the life of both the front and rear joints on both prop shafts...
