Strange vibes

Post by Nev62 »

Went out for a run a little while back and after hitting the blacktop again noticed a bit of a grinding/vibration feel at speed (100-110kmh).

Went out the weekafter and again after hitting the blacktop, vibes still there but a bit worse. :cry:

Went out again last weekend and now the grinding/vibration feel is not only there but also pulsating starting around 90kmh and gets more pronounced as the speed climbs higher. :shock: I cannot see any damage to the driveshafts and sure they did not get hit.


Ideas :?: :?: :?:
