    Worrying vibration

    A quick update. She went back to the garage on Saturday to be checked over, I requested that the swivel bearings be checked and it was all confirmed ok when I collected it. Monday morning driving in to work, about 30 miles down the road and the wheel starts wobbling again. I jacked it up in the...

    Thats what I thought too, but the garage I took it too said they had checked the swivel bearings and found them to be ok, but the wheel bearing to be worn.

    Worrying vibration

    When turning on full lock I get one click when I start to move as if some slack is being taken up.

    Worrying vibration

    I did have the wheels balanced when I had new tires fitted last autumn, I didnt think of that. Would missing balancing weights cause this violent a shake? It feels like the wheel is about to fall off.

    I will have a lok at CV joints, is there an easy way to check them?

    Worrying vibration

    Front prop was new in October/November so I doubt those are suspect, rear UJs were done in September. I have had UJs fail before and this is much more violent and sudden than that.

    Worrying vibration

    Morning all. I was driving in to work on Tuesday and had to brake sharply when somebody pulled out in front of me at approx. 60 mph, when I did so the whole front end of my Landy (300tdi Wolf 90) shook very violently, which was also transmitted through the steering wheel. I slowed below 40 and...

    R380 whining noise

    I just finished swapping the box for a 1.2 box from a disco. Runs a treat now and goes a bit quicker to boot. I must say that it's a two man job and that an engine hoist would have made life a hell of a lot easier. Suffice it to say that I owe my brother lots of beer now!

    R380 whining noise

    It seems quite terminal. I got the drain plug out (I only topped it up before as I didn't have much oil) and it was covered in flakes of metal like a mohican. I drained the oil and it was full of metal, it looked like grey metallic paint and had a burnt smell. I tried getting the cover plate off...

    No, I am not still driving it! I will drop the sump and have a look inside, anything in particular that I should look for?

    R380 whining noise

    Yes, I assume the 4mm play was due to the nut being loose. I will flush it through after I do the rear bearing, I bought two of the front one and assume that the rear is the same size?

    R380 whining noise

    Ok. I changed the bearing and oil seal, old bearing didn't feel any different to the new one and there were a few brassy flakes on the inside face of the oil seal. I reassembled it and went for a drive and still had the same noise. On second inspection it is related to road speed, increasing in...

    R380 whining noise

    Ok. The garage loosened both for me and I topped up both boxes. Tranny was about 200ml and main box was bone dry. Still got the noise though so I am leaning towards the output bearing. I ran up through the gears with the tranny in neutral and diff unlocked and had no noise. Did the same with...

    R380 whining noise

    I did notice oil spots all over the front face of the read diff and axle so it probably shat itself on saturday when the bearing went too.

    R380 whining noise

    Posted in Intro section. I have a local garage on the case trying to get the filler plugs out, I cant for the life of me remove them so I cannot check oil level and condition yet. I thought it was the output bearing so I have ordered the parts but without being able to get the filler plugs out...
