so any way for starters a big shout out to all the paj fans on this site. Ive been reading and absorbing all the knowledge put on these pages, great stuff. But now i finally have a problem that i dont have any idea about.
I drive a 99 Nl 2.8td Paj..
I was on my way back from canberra to illawarra, on the Hume doing 110km/h along the concrete road. when all of a sudden the whole car started shuddering.. i pulled over as i thought it was a flat, since i am running Ebay special tyres. but they weren't flat or de laminated, so i carried on and thought it was just a bumpy patch of road,
Then 10m down the road it happened again the whole car vibrated violently. i pulled over and checked out all the drive line, i figured it had to have been a tailshaft bearing gone. so i bunged it into 4wd and drove home with no worries, only vibrating when decellerating.
yesterday i pulled the tailshaft apart with dads help and greased all parts, but there was no wear at all on the bearings, which i am stoked with since its got 200000 on the clock.
i looked at the Front left driveshaft CV boot and it is full of water so i am replacing the boot, but this problem isnt just a warn CV cos i had that b4 on my old paj,.
So now i have no idea Why this vibration is happening..
Any help would be muchly appreciated...
Cheers Iceman
