Im a new member (Hi to everyone by the way) I need some advice. Hopefully someone can help me?
I own a 1998 Freelander 1.8 XEI 5 door. I recently had the viscious unit & prop shaft bearings replaced. Since then I have noticed that when I turn a corner while going real slow there is a lot of vibration from the back of the vehicle. I got told that it is just the 4x4 compensating for each wheel.
Anyone have any idea's what it could be?
 
MIGHT BE ER BIT TIGHT IF NEW ,OOOPS sorry stuck on caps lock, i have heard it doing it when jist moving orft or slow reverse think its er common thing. . . .:)
 
Do you think its nothing to worry about then?

If you look under the hippo, about the middle, you'll notice a sort of bigish drum thingy.
thats the "Viscous coupling unit" Its wot makes the rear wheels drive!
