Hi all,
I have a Freelander TD4 2002 manual with a vibration going through the car, after changing the clutch, viscous coupling, propshaft bearings lower tie bar, both wish bone arms, track rod ends, wheel bearings, anti-roll bar mounts, brake disc and pads, anti-roll bar drop links, axle mounts, all drive shafts and 4 new tyres, i still have a vibration on acceleration?
I found the left hand drive shaft (gearbox side) has some play in it where it goes into the gearbox (up and down play) my question is can you change the output shaft bearing without removing the gearbox? cant seem to find out how you remove it?
 
Depends on how much play you have, if its like 2/3mm I would not bother. You have not checked the exhaust system.

Hi thanks for the reply, yeah i think its about 3mm of play, exhaust seems ok? supports hangers ect, would the exhaust cause the car to shake on acceleration?
 
No, no shaking, vibrations can mean lots of things to different people, have you checked run out of the wheels and does this wobble go away anytime during the drive.
