Hi
My 4.6HSE has finally died. I have had a problem with the front wheels scrubbing and losing traction for a while now and could not find the problem. Last week I think that I identified the problem as the viscous coupling in the transfer box / front prop shaft but to late as on Thursday the front diff exploded so now probably have 2 problems.
My 2.5 DSE has had a wobble from last years holiday that I have tried to sort out. It started last year in France with a wobble through the steering wheel at about 55mph but you just drove through it and from 60mph there was no wobble. Got home and had the balance and tracking done but both were OK. Changed front wheels for back and no change. Changed the steering damper wobble got worse as it went from 55mph up to 65mph. Changed the front shocks no change. Changed the radius arm bushes and the car became un-drivable from 45mph. The wobble was so violent that I could not drive it. So last week I gave in and took it to the garage as it had run out of MOT. It went straight through the MOT but they did find a UV joint that had gone and replaced it. This has made the car driveable again but the problem is back to how it started i.e a wobble at 55mph - 60mph but is violent
This wobble feels like the body of the car is going from right to left and back and is worse if the road surface is uneven.
On a smooth road the problem goes away until there is a bumpy section and then off it goes but only at the certain speed. I have only got the pan hard rod to change now but the garage has said that there is no movement in this.
HELP PLEASE
