(check the sump for a bolt head or nut (not kidding)... is it like a harmonic type resonance?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DEVO Guests Posted 12/06/03 03:52 AM Share Posted 12/06/03 03:52 AM I have a similar thread elsewher asking about a clunking in the suspension and gearbox- I wonder if this may be related? I have had some vibration type feelings but usually attribute it to bad Brisbane roads :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 12/06/03 04:00 AM Share Posted 12/06/03 04:00 AM I have had the vibrations, but put it down to the tyres.I must have been close to the spot cause my dealer fitted new tyres at 5000 ks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But between 100 - 120 it's quite apparent.Will be getting it checked out sooner or later.Scotty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRS ... duhh ... oh well ... sounds like it may have been fixed but have you heard of any ute problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picked it up afterwards & off I went without paying much attention. Gave her once over with the sponge next day to reveal an interesting fact. The tyre on the front right has had the 75 gram factory balance weight removed completely. Marks can be seen where it was located & I think one of the other wheels have had its weights shifted. This I believe will have been the culprit of my highway vibration, the officer in charge of finance drove "T" to Gympie (hell town) on the weekend & reckoned she's smoother than some of my 1 liners, not all of 'em though.I had always been alarmed at the amount of weight on brand new wheels & tyres that "T" had & now it seems it was justifiably so! For the small cost associated with it I would recommend people experiencing any vibration to seek outside advice, a balance & an alignmentScotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
