Thread: D2 Vibration Sound - Not Prop Shaft

Didn't you replace a front diff recently? could be coming from something there?

Check the turbo heat shield,had a similar noise on my D2.Rear lower bolt rusted out

Rear diff but not that kind of serious noise anyway.

Might be it.

Could be a bit high in the rev range but have you eliminated the handbrake shoe rattle, gently ease on the handbrake and see if it goes away

remove it and eliminate that for sure.

Intermediate silencer heat shield?

It sounds like a loose baffle inside a muffler, but I've removed my centre muffler and CAT and it is still there.
It almost sounds like it is coming from the engine bay, but that could be misleading as i'm not sure where it is coming from, it could potentially be under the dash.

I've got no idea what it could be. Any ideas?

P.S I've removed the disc brake guards on the wheels. It is not them.

Hi Jazzman,
I had something similar with a non-LR vehicle, and concluded that it was exactly what you said - a loose or corroded muffler baffle.
It actually turned out to be due to a worn / broken engine mount.
Sounding as though it is coming from the engine bay fits with that possibility.
Mine was most noticeable when decelerating - fits with your observation about not being evident when you power on hard.
May be worth a check.
