Title: Vibration HELP
Post by: ben_haynes on September 03, 2005, 23:55:52

just bought a 1990 200tdi disco and as i was driving today and it started to Vibrate through the steering / Pedals at about 60MPH. so i slowed down to around 50MPH and as i went over a rough section of road it started to do the same. but i can drive through it and it stops at about 65MPH

have had all four wheels balanced

What is the Cause / Fault?

Start by checking the propshafts, most likely the front.

The it's wheel bearings, diff etc etc for something that's probably bust.

If it was a V8 I'd also suggest a missfire.

The swivel housing pre-load could be another one to look at.
You can check this when you do the wheel bearings. Jack one front wheel off the ground, grab the tyre at the 6 & 12 o'clock positions and try to rock the wheel in & out. If you feel any movement then it could be the swivel pins that need a shim or two taking out.
If you do the same by grabbing the tyre at the 3 & 9 o'clock positions and get movement than look at wheel bearing.  :wink:
