bad vibrations

THEengineer · Dec 22, 2014

my 110 is vibrating horribly at anywhere above 40 mph,i know the uj,s could be shot but found something on the rear handbrake drum,3 off the bolts are tight ones totally failed and loose could this cause the bad vibes?secondly how do you get the rear handbrake drum off?

Drums held on by the prop nuts

cheers bb,any reason one should fail though?

Dead simple, as BB said you simply disconnect the rear prop at the drum and hey presto!!

3 tight nuts holding the props enough, though obviously fit 4

i only put two on mine and then moved the 90 in a hurry, it destroyed my rear drive flange :/

thanks lads so it sounds like thats not causing the vibration,after sorting the steering last week,seems to be one problem after the other,if i rule out the uj,s what else could make it vibrate so bad? bearings are all fine and balancing of the front wheels done

If you not thoroughly checked the u/js they're still the most likely cause.

U/J's mine was doing this when i first bought it noticed the front prop was pretty new but the rear was old looking so checked it and the rear u/j on the rear prop was shot so bought a new rear prop from paddocks and that sorted it

i done the front uj,s about a year ago fitted gkn ones,i will check the front again,with the rear chock the wheels hand brake off,get someone to stand on the brakes should be able to tell then if i crawl underneath for a look?

im in the same boat as you mate, horrible to drive but luckily i don't drive it for weeks on end.

Most probably your UJ's but just double check your swivle balls are not in too bad a condition. Also your suspension. I had nightmare of a vibration for months which became noticeable at speeds over 50mph, eventually tracked it down to a missing nut at the bottom of the front offside damper!!!

It's not the balls but the pins that need checking. Jack up wheel and check for any play at 6 and 12 o clock.

i think i found the cause,it was a gaylander door wrapped around the prop,obviously fallen off when it got wet
