Hi All. Thanks for allowing me onto the forum. I have an issue with my FL2 and it’s got me beat!

I’ve got a 58 plate FL2 with an issue. I’ve had it 15 months and it’s been great, but now I have an intermittent shaking of the whole car at 40-50mph. At first I thought it was a wheel bearing but they’re fine. It’s not engine or brakes so I’m concerned it’s drive train related.
I can drive on the same price of road and it shakes the first time but not the next. It’s pretty bad and becoming more frequent.
It’s on Landsail tyres which were new 10k ago. I’ve only done 7k in it over the last 12m.
Does anyone have any ideas what it could be please? Car has done 69k.
I had the car to the garage on Saturday with 3 engineers looking at it including me, and there’s nothing obvious. Really need to get it sorted before going on hols... I hate intermittent faults.

Any help or advice is appreciated. Cheers, Steven.

Welcome

I don’t know FLs but it sounds like something amiss in that fancy drivetrain.
If you pop in here and ask you will get better help https://www.landyzone.co.uk/forum/land-rover-freelander.9/

Good luck

Have you had it tracked?

I haven’t no. But would that be a permanent issue? I’ve had all wheels balanced but not tracked. And it doesn’t pull to one side. Other than this, it drives perfectly.

I have had this problem before but it was balanced & tracked together which solved the problem. If you have had them balanced I doubt whether just tracking would be the cause especially as you said you had the bearings checked as well.

We checked all the linkages, suspension, bearings, brakes And prop shafts for slack and all seem fine. Very odd..

So I checked everything again and can not locate the cause. Just gonna have to drive it until it becomes permanent.

The problem disappeared over a couple of months! Can only think it was a tyre issue!
