Hello all,

Experiencing severe judder/vibration from the body between 35-45 mph.
Replaced ujs. Balanced wheels and neither have cured it.
All started with transmission noise 2 weeks ago. Filled oil and greased prop shafts. Noise gradually went, juddering began.

Any ideas what to try next much appreciated.

Thank you.

Did you check the sliding joints on the props?

Checked sliding joints. Prop shaft trouble in the past has got worse the faster you go. This eases between 45 and 60. Though still doesn't feel right.
Thanks for prompt reply
