Vibration at 50mph+

[ben73]

Hi guys,
Just finished a 2" suspension lift on my 300 tdi, with 265/75/16 tyres and now I have quite a severe vibration at 50mph and above.
does anyone have any suggestions?

remove the suspension lift.

 

[ben73]

has anyone else had similar experience?

lol

When did you last service/replace your proj uj's?

has anyone else had similar experience?

yes, that's why I said what I did.

alternatively, you could spend loadsamunny and buy a pair of wide angle yoke propshafts.

take your front prop and try it in difflock

Just the front prop? how do yu do that?

Disco has 2" lift with castor correct radius and trailing arms.
Will removing front prop put unwanted stress onto rear prop?
Would I drive at 50mph + with only front prop?

appologies Treworgey 90 didn't mean to be dismissive its just that ive put a lot of effort into it

so did I - and money.
regretted it ever since.

if I hadn't given away all the standard suspension bits, I'd put them back on tomorrow.

you can drive as fast as you like on rear prop caster correcting arms make prop angle worse ,2 inch shouldnt really need them, by removing each prop in turn you can isolate area causing vibration most likely front

Front propshaft wears on sliding splines causing vibration and the suspension lift will pull the spline out further make the wear more prominent.

If it was me, before I did any stripping down I would make sure the props had a damn good greasing - all u/j's and sliding bit grease nipples.

Thanks for all help guys will have a good look at UJ's and splines first thing in the morning,
then try removing front prop.
then look into double cardan props if still bad vibrations
will keep you posted
