Hey Guys
New to the forum and have found it super useful to carry out many DIY's on my own along with a trove of infromation. Before anything i have tired to search the forum for the issue i am facing however cant seem to get a definitive answer so maybe someone here can help. I have a 2000 FZJ100 ATM with a 1FZFE. Its got about 186,000 miles on it (all by the 1st owner). Got it as a project that i intend to restore. It has all new suspension components (Toyota genuine) with literally every single bush/part replaced along with a new set of shocks, new tyres, new rotors front and rear, new U-joints in both the front and rear propshafts as well as fuilds replaced on the front and rear diff,Tcase including the gear box.
From a dead stop when you accelerate there is wobble/shudder which has significantly reduced after replacing the old busted u-joints, however it is still there abliet less pronounced. When the car is upto speed say about 60 mph there seems to be an oscillating vibration/shudder in the whole car and seems to stay constant if not increasing as you speedup. It also has a drone that comes and goes like a rotational vibration to the extent the rear view mirror vibrating is visual proof. The gas millage on the car is horrible along with it being very slugging off the line and seems like i am towing something behind. Adding to this there is now a variance in the actual speed vs what is displayed on the speedo which was previously not the case. I had an issue with the gearbox where is stopped shifting, however after replacing the fluids and a loose electrical cable it seems to be working alright though there is a high pitched whine everytime you drive it, not sure if its from the gearbox or the tcase but seems to be coming from the front/mid of the car.
I am thinking if its the front diff that has an issue or the gearbox, as it feels like the car is seized when driving along with an annoying shudder that feels like sitting in a washing machine.
Looking for any input that might be useful.
Cheers
