Hi, RRC 3.9efi on lpg
I've a strange wobble/vibration problem on my Rangie.
At very low speeds <10mph the whole front body shakes slightly from side to side as if a wheel was bent. I've swapped wheels around but it's still there.
At higher speeds there's a pulsating vibration which varies with road speed. It's still there coasting in neutral so it ain't engine related.
I've checked front wheel bearings and swivel bearings and all are nice and tight with no play. The UJ's appear OK with no play when twisting the propshafts by hand.
The steering is fine and there's no shimmy after hitting bumps etc.
I'm now thinking of putting axle stands under both axles, starting it up and watching the wheels for wobbles, run out, etc.
Anyone else had this or any ideas what to check next?
Cheers,
Bob
