Hello all
After half a year of trouble free motoring and thinking how reliable these hippos are after all (too complacent by far I know) I am now trying to daignose a vibration that appears after about 50mph and gets steadily worse until about 70 then gets better again after that.
I replaced the vcu and bearings 10000 km ago - how long are the bearings supposed to last? It was a Bell recon unit complete with bearings - I am sure they should still be fine?
I have looked t the trheads and I think tyres/pressures are the first thing to look at. Tyres replaced 15k km ago - look OK but perhaps the rolling circumference at rear is degraded enough to cause this?
I replaced the diff frotn mount 10k ago - but perhaps the other mounts may be worn and causing this?
UJ 's on propshafts - driveshafts etc - where do I look first?
Finally - maybe it is the IRD - How to check?
I suspect I may just have to replace/check each of the above in turn until problem resolved. But is there a 'most likely ' scenario?
Thanks everyone!
Gareth
