I am new to he landrover world and just picked up a 2003 freelander td4 with 82500 miles on the clock.

The issue I have is between 50-70 mph the car vibrates and wobbles and the gear stick shakes pretty bad. This seems to only happen when accelerating and settles down at motorway speed after a while

Have read all sorts posts about drive shafts and prop shaft issues to even wheel bearing troubles.

Or could it be as simple as tyes out of balance ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Yer would be betterer to ask questions about Freelanders int safety of the Freelander section over ere:

https://www.landyzone.co.uk/forum/land-rover-freelander.9/

With a bit of luck one of the mods may move this fred over there for yer. Hold on tight as it could land in any of the forum sections. Webbed fingers...

Wheel balance, tyre pressures, vcu bearings, brake calliper sliding pins sticking, wheel bearings, check in that order, then ird itself

plus 1 what the other guys have said

check for any movement on the front of the prop where it joins the ird, there is a Y shaped bearing inside that fails and can cause those kind of issues

hope u get it resolved
