vibration

[firewatch]

on a land rover disco n reg, we are getting vehicle vibration at 63 mph not sure what is causing it.
We have put a new lift suspension on as the old suspension was perished, and new wheels (all terrain/off roading).
What could be causing this vibration? Some of our bushes need replacing, could it be that or something more serious?

Have you had the new wheels balanced ?

[TWR]

Centre Bearing on the prop, Have you checked it?

[firewatch]

yes they where, but they are second hand, would it be an idea to get them balanced again?

[firewatch]

front or rear prop? Rears only just been replaced as it doughnut was perished, front prop looks new as well

[tonyav]

Try and get them balanced on the car if you can.

[tonyav]

firewatch I have known prop shafts to be out of balance.

[firewatch]

wilko will let hubby know, it is raining so will get him to check the front prop tomorrow before he goes to work :)b

[firewatch]

Really? Will have to get it checked as well, see if my friendly mechanic can take a look under her

[TWR]

It's more often the Central Bearing Fire, check for side / up movements ( Wear)

[firewatch]

i cant recall there being any play when i was checking to see it was the cause of the last lot of vibration-which is why i looked at the back. im starting to know dora/lazarus better from under it thenon top

Fire, can you drive out of it? the vibration I mean? if you can drive out of it at ( Say) 70, wheel balance as Tony has said, have you changed the front wheels? check if the weights has come off any of the front wheel rims. has any one hit a kerb?

[firewatch]

will get hubby to try and drive out of it i dont drive :)

Just remembered, years ago having a vibration problem on a Ford Capri, it turned out to be the bushes on the bottom control arms.

[TWR]

I have just re-read your post Fire, I would try your old wheels before anything else.

[firewatch]

one of the bushes on the drivers side axle has perished they need sorting for next mot going to swap them for polybushes

[TWR]

That would not cause the Vibration Fire.

[firewatch]

i am blue in the face from sugesting that twr but hubby will not listen! will tell him you wonderful people suggested it and see if tries it.

[TWR]

[firewatch]

[tonyav]
