DrRob Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Start with tyre pressure check then have all 4 wheels balanced before doing anything else.It cured mine for £20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildchris Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Could be a uj breaking up? i have that at the same speed before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaDi90Hybrid Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Another option is the swivel pin bearings, one on mine was rusted when I bought it and replacing it and setting up correctly cured what the balancer couldn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ano1golfer Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 could be the front propshaft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henrycrabbe Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Hi Joe, Does the vibration happen when accelerating, breaking or just coasting? I had a bust coupling in my rear prop that vibrated at about that speed but only when under power. Cheers, Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt bristol Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 my vote would be for a prop UJ letting go - I hasd the same on my disco at about 55 - 65 mph, and the vibration was worse if I de-clutched and let it coast back to below 55.

DiscoHere Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Yes i would go with the UJ as well. However id be interested in hearing what it is when you cure it Good Luck Hugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pw8757 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Just done my front UJ - exact same symptoms - also listen for a clonk when moving off........that will confirm it........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
