Hello everyone,
I need to ask some advice. The forum has been great with everything up to this point.
I have recently brought a 1993 HJD80 and I am having issues with a drive line vibration. The vibration is felt through the floor/seats (not steering wheel) between ~70kph (~45mph) and ~110kph (~70mph) and only under acceleration.
The vibration started after the LC went off-road, probably for the first time in its life. Light off road trip with 31" tyres and factory suspension.
The vehicle is fitted with a part time 4x4 kit. I removed the rear drive shaft and engaged the centre diff and the vibration stopped. The unis felt smooth but I thought it must have been a rear uni joint so replaced both with OEM joints. Unfortunately the vibration is still there when the drive shaft was reinstalled.
I am unsure where to go next with diagnostics. Any tips for diagnosing diff or TC issues?
I am unsure if this could also be contributing but the lower control arm bushes are worn/cracked and the shocks were replaced after the off-road trip as one of the factory shocks gave up.
Appreciate any help,
Hamish.
