vibration from drive

[clairedave]

i have a vibration on my 90 thats getting worse ,its not props as fitted new axels from td5 and its still there i think it is cluch as when you depress cluch and free wheel there is no vibration at all.anyone had same problem,

[Richie_EB4]

I would still say its prop......just because you have fitted new axles your props/uj's could be shot.

[clairedave]

no play in props rear prop new

Gearbox/engine mount, maybe?

These 'new' axles from a TD5 defender, i presume they were in good condition. Did you use the TD5 props as well? Anything else fitted at the same time ie. taller springs etc.?
Sorry about all the extra questions, but answers could help me solve your problem.
I am a techy for a Landrover dealer (for 10 long painful years) and for the Royal Auxilliary Air Force.

A common one i have seen when people change front axles on defenders is they put the front prop back the wrong way, past experience of people doing this has resulted in a multitude of different problems. Droaning noises, vibrations etc.

I have put new uj's on my front prop and i have got the same thing. 50 mph and my wig keeps come off, will look at this weekend

Sorry to state the obvious, but i have read that if props are put on wrong way round they can cause bad vibs.

Sure it's not that, but just a thought.

I think i put it back on the right way ( small dia shaft to the diff ) [-o<

[Landy Andy]

Yes i think thats correct.

Front is thin of shaft to diff
Rear is thin end to trans box

I think!!!!!!!!

Take the front prop off, put in diff-lock then drive and see if the vibration has gone. If not refit the front remove the rear prop and try again. Hopefully this will point towards wether the fault is front or rear. Not likely to be a clutch fault if this was ok before changing the axles, dipping the clutch just removes the drive from the powertrain and lessen's the torque being transmitted through it. the fact that it vibrates when driving points to a prop/axle fault.
