Diff changed today. Fixed it. Yay!

Okay so still getting some wobble... My seats shake, my floor does too... At set speeds all of it. Do I need to check for play in the front end? My unis on the driveshaft seem fine, no odd movement. Can the front driveshaft cause vibes?

[shadz]

I took mine to pedders for a check up last weekend as i get similar vibrations at 80kmh +

they said a tailshaft balance might do the trick

[jaffazoom]

take the front drive shaft out and drive it, easy test to see if its the problem.
Also when testing for play in drive shaft uni's don't rely on using your hand to turn it back and forth, stick a big screwdriver in between the uni and get some leverage on it. I've been caught out where the unis were so dry and worn in position you couldn't feel the play by hand, 2 weeks later it dropped one end of the driveshaft from a collapsed uni ( was on a yard forklift that always worked in dirt yard).

Cheers guys, appreciate it. I am leaning towards shafts... Will remove the front one ASAP and see what difference it makes. Also, is this pinion angle incorrect?

[HamishW96]

After some research, its not. Should be 'parallel' to the Tcase. Ill realign it tomorrow. Ill drive it, most likely feel no change and remove the front DS. Go again and change the two rear tyres with my spares.... if not I'll put new Unis in the rear shaft (I have 2), then if not Ill have to get it balanced.

[HamishW96]

My rear tyres are out of round, most likely from sitting for years, then me refitting to a new set of wheels. Also my driveshaft unis aren't the best. Dropped the front driveshaft and vibes went away a bit. The rear tyres were the biggest culprit. I'll do both 2 rear tyres and all 5 driveshaft unis.
