Hi,
I had a Discovery 2 which I loved however it developed an insanely annoying vibration when driven on the motorway, both through the car and the steering wheel. No one could find any problem with UJs/Wheel balancing/propshaft/bushes/tyres.. spent ages checking. When I found it eventually needed a new rear chassis section I sold it because the constant vibration made me less keen to spend any more money to repair it.
Bought an 08 Disco 3 auto which I was delighted with...Until the same kind of vibration started around a year ago. Replaced 2 tyres, balanced tyres, put new wishbone bushes on it, replaced passenger side wheel bearing and still the vibration continues. It's through the steering wheel mainly when accelerating at around 70mph but then gets worse if it's pushed over 70 when you start to feel it through the whole car. Vibration seems worse when it's under load- accelerating up a motorway hill causes visible steering wheel shake but not every time, sometimes the more you acccelerate the less it seems to shake. It seems to get worse with distance traveled- at the beginning of the journey not too bad. There's also a wheel shake when braking at higher speeds and an odd screech when turning sharp corners/roundabouts. Any ideas? It's only done 60,000 miles from new but I'm a bit fed up of the vibrations....
Cheers in advance
