Thread: new to the d2 world

Welcome.

I think the aircon drain is above the DC joint on the front shaft, not the tail shaft.

ok my mistake thanks have you heard of this before and how about the vibrations. Im new to this

Welcome Capt Howdy

you were lucky with the warranty!!

you dont say if its a petrol or diesel,,

the diesels have a tendency to break engine mounts,,

there are a few D2's running around with strange vibrations,, maybe a quick search?

its a v8 auto petrol, I am going to try a steering damper other than that I dont know what it could be, I have checked the engine mounts they seem fine.

all the normal things like,,
all the tyres match,
are balanced(and havent thrown a weight), aligned,
?

The vibration could be a faulty/worn-out rubber coupling on the rear tailshaft.

You would do well to have the unis in the double cardon joint in the front tailshaft replaced with greasable ones if they haven't been done already, as that's the biggest cause of failure. A/C moisture dripping on the joint is just 1 way of moisture getting into it - driving on wet roads is another!

The front shaft is now a brand new one with new cardon joints, I am in the process of trying to extend drainage point so wont drip on shaft, I have been doing alot of reading here and seems a new rubber donut might do the trick. I am going to put a 2" lift on it and do castor correctors and steering damper aswell. The 2 front tyres are the same and the 2 rear are the same with even wear on them. The wheels are balanced, might be out of alignment, having that done on Friday. Thanks to all with ideas for me, any others are much appreciated.

I'm in the same boat Cpt H. I'm getting driveline vibes between 95-110 kph after replacing front propshaft, injector harness, engine mounts, both diffs, sway bar links & bushes and tightening the muffler heat shield. Next step is to put it on a dyno next service & try to locate the problem that way.
