joe6r Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Hi was driving back after collecting some logs about a ton in weight and at 2 points on the way home the vibration in the cab was epic, dipped the clutch see if was the drive but it still vibrated lasted a couple of hundred meters then stopped. The road look ok no ridges or obvious cambers as it was a bit intermittent could it be tracking or wheel balancing Any thoughts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennett Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 One of the hiluxs at work had the same problem, thought it was going to shake its self to death! Turned out to be loose bolts on one of the transfer shafts, only held on with the last bolt and easily cured Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Geordie Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 I planted my Cavalier in mud up to the floor and had to be pulled out. I parked the car up and went beating. After the day beating I drove home and at 40mph the vibration started and at 70 I thought the car was going to fall to bits. I limped home and pondered what could it be. I worked it out that there may be muck behind the wheel pans causing the wheels to be unbalanced. Sure enough there was a area of rim caked in mud. I cleaned it off and the car was fine. It's amazing what a bit of mud can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
