    FJ 60 Vibrating at higher speeds - Help

    I've already gone one better then that and replaced both tie rods ends and both drag link ends too... The steering is nice and tight now but the groaning and vibrating at low speed remains :(

    Yeah, at this point I really have to apologise to @HankThe60Beast for hijacking the thread 😬

    The whole truck shakes. Not the steering wheel or shifter. I haven’t done the knuckles and don’t know when (or if!) they’ve ever been redone.

    I only feel the vibration at low speed, like in the 3-8km/h range. Once the truck is moving it more or less disappears

    Already swapped front wheels to back and then done a realignment. New tyres and a balance are on the list, but I actually think it might be suspension related

    The rear prop shaft is currently out of the car so those 2 UJs are not the problem. The vibration and noise is still there if I roll the car with the freewheel hubs open, so it’s not the front UJ either. Using the same logic I’ve eliminated the diffs too.

    Regardless. It always happens. Doesn’t matter if it’s in gear or neutral, engine on or engine off, touching the brakes or not touching them. It’s strong enough to shake the whole car.

    FJ 60 Vibrating at higher speeds - Help

    I’ve had another go at doing this and paid close attention to this. Last time I was very focused on the wheel bearings. This time I notice that one wheel does have a bit of drag and doesn’t spin out as freely as the other, but I find it hard to imagine it’s the source of the terrible vibration...

    Do you have to remove all the old bushings, then lift the entire body or is it possible to remove and replace one by one?

    So if they’re frozen, could they be the cause of my vibration?

    Can you tell me more about the leaf-spring pins please? Are they supposed to be able to move (i.e. not be “frozen”?).

    How big a job is it to replace the body mounts?

    FJ 60 Vibrating at higher speeds - Help

    I've had the rear axle up on stands and spun the rear wheels, mainly checking for signs of wheel bearing fatigue. There were no nasty noises coming from either the bearings or the rear drums. I had the rear wheels off when I removed the axles and had a good look at the drums but I didn't...

    I’m also chasing the cause of a vibration. Mine’s a bit different as it’s worse at very slow speeds both when slowing down and taking off. I’ve had the car up on stands and spun all the wheels and find no sign of bearing trouble. I’ve tried rolling down a hill in gear, out of gear both with the...

    60 series porn (pictures of the kind that get people like us excited!)

    Aren’t the bars on the outside though? Cargo can still break the glass if so 🧐

    Interesting bars across the cargo area windows. Guess they were fitted to deter thieves? Kinda cool in a nice old-skool kind of way 😁

    If you need carpet for your 60 or 62, now would be a good time

    I have a 1987 HJ61 that was originally sold in Italy. I’m not sure if there’s such a thing as “Euro-spec” when it comes to carpet, but if your set will fit, I’m definitely interested. Shipping might be expensive though as the truck & I are still in Italy 🇮🇹
