| Post subject: | Massive vibration at speed |
Been daily driving my datto the last few months and suddenly tonight driving to and from work the car started vibrating over 50km/h What started as a gentle vibration between 50 - 80 kms on the way home became a monstrous shuddering (so hard even my keys we jingling) I suspect a uni joint has let go as it seems to be in the rear but before I pull the rear apart is there anything else I should look at? For the extra info: Vibration/shuddering is at speed (really bad at 50km/h violent at 80km/h) Under load makes no difference putting the car in neutral vibration still happens. Thank you all in advance |

Rear wheel bearings? Springs/shocks? Bushings in rear? Diff low on oil/oil leak/cracked gear? Buckled wheel? Brake shoes stuck? |

Guess I wont know till I pull it apart... about the only thing I could rule out there is the buckled Rim. The rest makes sense, Uni would probably only be an issue under load from the drive train hence why I asked for the suggestions. Might be time to do the r31 brake conversion or the start of a long rebuild... these things happen with datto's. |

Problem was staring at him all along!Did you find the cause? Maybe a very powerful dildo got caught in the undercarriage with still nuff charge to make a seasoned Hoe bite her lip? |

Is your car low? I had exactly the same symptoms when I lowered mine, ended up changing to CVs. |

Could you have lost a balance weight or is too bad for that? |

Haven't had much time to look at it. So far the half shafts look fine and I can't wiggle them. Car is basically undrivable until I find the problem. Hopefully with the day off work tomorrow I'll be able to get under it and have a proper sus. |
