Bad Vibrations!
« on: 22 December 2004, 03:19 »
Recently started getting bad vibration from the front of my 88' valver when accelerating hard (obviously something I've stopped doing!) and at speed on the motorway,especially when going over any bumps? ?- the gearbox is working fine - how would I tell if? its drive shaft bearings or engine mounts
(or anthing else! :undecided:)

Cheers!

The dash has been ratlin' for ages(I think its where my lost marbles are :laugh:)? but this is somewhere in the drivetrain / engine bay- don't thinks it CVs as I've had that before and it clicked on cornering and sounded completely different - I think I'll have to get it booked in for some surgery new year! - anyone what simptoms U get with knackered drive shaft bearings?

Check the tyre pressures, and swap the back wheels to the front to rule out any wheel balancing problems!
