    yeah, new Coopers didn't get rid of it and recently I tried a set of borrowed 19s as well and it was still there.

    Should have mentioned new discs as well.

    Has anyone heard of driveshafts getting out of balance on these cars?

    Yes pretty sure someone had one replaced under warranty due to being out of balance. I think it was Nicky but can't be 100% sure.

    Cheers,
    Scott

    Edit: it was a drive shaft uni joint issue that he had.
    Drive shaft centre bearing mount has also been suggested as a possible cause of drive line vibration in past threads.

    I have had the rear struts and one of the front replaced with no change in the shuddering.
    Why only one of the front ones? Shock absorbers should be replaced as pairs.

    Would have certainly been best, but at $1320 for one strut... having spent about $15k on car mechanical stuff in the last financial year, that pretty much broke the piggy bank

    It's just as well the air suspension is good, cos I got an entire decent quality 2" lift for my work Pajero for that kind of money!

    From where did you source the strut? I am pretty sure they can be had for a much better price than that...

    Independent in Melbourne... it was of the same magnitude as the two rears I had done not long before, so I admit I didn't shop around. Are the TDV8 dynamic response ones more expensive?
