General Vibration Over 65 mph - Land Rovers Only

grunte · 08-01-2008, 05:55 PM

Over 65 mph I get a uniform vibration throughout the vehicle that increases with speed. Tires are not overly aggressive (Michelin XPC), vehicle is aligned. Do get the "clunk" in the rear differential when accerating from a coast, but told that is normal. One suspicion is front propeller linkage - but greasing it does not make a difference. Thoughts?

Are your wheels caked with brake dust and road grime??? Try scrubbing the inside areas of your wheels with a stiff brush and comet...

Also make sure your tire pressures are equal (fronts and rears)...

Have your tires/wheels inspected and balanced, grease all your grease fittings, inspect your rotoflex for cracks and replace if needed.

sounds like a drive shaft/ujoint

I'm having a similar issue. My mechanic is saying my front differential is shot.

Before you spend that kind of money, check all of the free/cheap things first...

balance tires
tire pressure check
scrub the wheels/hubs
check for debris on the drive shafts, u-joints, and rotoflex
