Vibration on DII with 19" Range Rover Wheels (hubcentric rings installed) - Land Rovers Only

W7412R · 09-11-2006, 03:41 AM

Hi all!! Does anyone know if it is at all true that the 19" wheels with hubcentric rings will still cause vibration onset at about 50mph onwards? I've tried going to the dealer, and they automatically said it was the wheels, and that others have experienced the same problems because the wheels aren't made for the DII...Can anyone advise? They also said they wouldn't do the roadforce balancing because it would be a waste of $$$ due to the 19" wheel issue...Seems as if I already was noticing some of the vibration with the 18" wheels, and now I can't put the 18's back on because I don't have the lugs anymore...a shop screwed them up...Oh well...

All and any advice is welcome/appreciated...

First. you should go after the shop that screwed up your lugs and make them replace them, I did when a shop screwed mine up and the paid the cost of replacement.
As for your vibration, if it was there with the 18" wheels also, I would suggest you check and lube your u-joints, as well as bith slip shafts on the drive lines and inspect the constant velocity joint on the front drive shaft where it connects to the t/case, see if both of the u-joints inside that housing have grease fittings, if they don't that could be your problem and I would suggest you have them replaced yesterday. If one is failing, which is very common, they will blow and can take out your tranny and or the t/case.
Hope this helps.

recently i get a mild shuddering. but its really weird. it only happens at 25-35 mph. before kicking down it completely fades out.the kick down usually occurs at around 35-40 mph. it just started about a week ago. what could be the problem? its not a real bad shudder, just noticable. i mean the shudder goes away, so it makes me think it isnt anything, but it just started so it has to be something.
