    Heavy vibrations at 40mph

    Hi all, My defender started producing this really heavy vibration around 35 until 45mph. So I went online and ordered some new rear ujs as I thought that would be it. Fitted them and went for a drive and its still there albeit not as bad now. Just unsure what my next steps should be? Many thanks
