Jinx Reyneke Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 It may be something really simple like it has thrown a wheel balancing weight. Also do a quick check on wheel bearings by lifting each wheel in turn just off and wiggle is by hand side to side & top and bottom. If there is any play wheel bearing might just need tightening. But if you spin it and there is a rough sounding noise, bearing is shot. But if UJ's are fine I would have the prop shafts re-balanced. There is a outside chance if your break pedal on first push goes almost all the way down and second push is firm that a brake disc is bent.

Tibout Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 hi thanks for the reply. both brake disc are new. and bearing are supposeto be new. i have'nt done it myself and i won't be suprise if they have'nt done it. but i'll check it. i'll say it's the prop which need to be align or wheel need balancing as it was sand blast recently for respraying. so i'll check that today thanks a mil thierry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinx Reyneke Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 often you get workshops that call themselves propshaft rebuilders. They often will cut the UJ yoke off the shaft and weld a new one on. Then they would balance the shaft in a lathe. Never done it myself but have seen it done. A place to ask is at a tyre and shock fitment center.

I could have swore that the Federation of Engine Remanufacturers www.fer.co.uk used to list it as well but a quick check shows the code isn't listed anymore. It would be another good play to start for some contacts. I would have thought anywhere that can balance crankshafts should also be able to do props.

Tibout Posted June 17, 2010 Author Share Posted June 17, 2010 Hi I still have some vibration the rear prop seem to have a little play the uj were done a couple of weeks ago I'm wondering if I could remove it and test the truck on a short distance to see if it's definitely the back one causing it?

Yes you could, you would just need to engage diff lock. Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

defender dinky Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Thanks a mil mark thierry hi, if you have taken rear prop off, have you put it back on right way, because i think sliding end by t/box or it will cause vibrations, dd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have traced it to the front prop, which, although i changed the u/j's is still vibrating under power at about 45 - 50 mph. I removed the front prop & ran it in difflock with no vibration. On fitting the prop again the vibration is back so either the prop or u/j's are needing replacing. Try running it in difflock without your front prop fitted & see if the vibration stops. Cheers, Terry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
