bad vibrations

Post by andy1517 »

guys, probs an easy fix ( i hope so).
Whenever hubs ar elocked in, engaged in low range, and climbing something i get bad vibration. think its either transfer case or front diff?
have also been told maybe engine mounts.

Any tips?

How much lift does it have or is the front diff forwards? Front driveshaft might be towards the end of the slip joint and with wear it will move around. Or uni's in the front shaft.

just fitted new speedo cable, and had a quick look.

The noise happens at low speeds. not sure about high speeds.

only has body lift 50mm. not sure what it is.

Where the steering arm connects to the left wheel, The other arm that connects the left wheel to the drivers side wheel, that had a little bit of movement. Is that normal.

Looked for sway bar too. Is that the Large U sort of shaped bar? Connects up the very front of the chassis, and back down the the wheels (close to there)???
