front wheel bearings & vibration problem

Post by westausie »

i had 2 mechanics check the frond end in my challenger and both have said that the bearings needed replacing

i had a bit of play in the front weel bearings so i replaced bearings and i still have a bit of movement in them the same as the old ones is there


ive been chasing a vibration problem and it is becoming expensive to find so far ive had 3 diferant mechanics look for it and so far ive put a new rear tailshaft gearbox and engine mounts
had rear locker diff rebuilt and now front wheel bearings
and it is still there has any one else had this problem
thanks

Can you put it in 2WD and take the drive flanges off the front wheels so the front end isn't turning and see if it goes away? (I don't know if you can do that but it sounds like a good idea :D )

Any speeds worse?
How much lift do you have?
Does it do it in 2wd & 4WD?
Do you have free wheeling hubs?

ive had the weels balenced at 2 different places and they both put the same weights in the same place

i dont have free weeling hubs and the front tail shaft is not engaged while in 2wd it starts at about 70 ks and i cant drive through it

Sorry, I don't know challnegers. Do they have auto hubs or drive flanges (fully engaged...)?

Auto or Manual? If manual, what happens at 70k when you put the clutch in and let it coast?

i had a similar problem on my paj, with massive vibrations.
i ended up taking it to a diff specialist and it turned out to be a collapsed bearing on the front drive shaft...
