LR Freelander (1999) shaking

freelanderguy99 · May 12, 2024

Hello LR friends!

I have been driving a 1999 Land Rover Freelander (manual transmission) for many years. A couple of months ago I noticed that when I accelerate over 80 km/h (50 mp/h) the car starts shaking abnormally. Now it is not clear to me what the problem is, whether the problem is in the shaft or the bearings or something else? Please help me, I am mostly limited to normal highway driving.

Thanks!

If you can 'drive through it' and over 50 is better then get front wheels balanced.

They are already balanced. That was the first thing I thought of.

Have you checked the VCU-propshaft bearings?

I found the problem and fixed it.
It was TRIPOD JOINT.
So if someone has the same problem or will ever have, read this topic and take a look, maybe it is also for you tripod joint. GL!

Was this the CV on the prop shaft going front to back, or 1 of the drive shafts going to a wheel?
