Hello everyone,
This my first post so forgive any errors, have recently aquired a 1999 Amazon VX, its done 118000 miles and has started to develope a vibration
from 50mph which becomes almost unbearable at 80mph.
There is no direct vibration on gear or the range selector and nothing through the steering wheel or pedals.
I suspect prop UJ's are on the way out, any other thoughts anyone??
regards

Rob

check rear wheel balance  and make sure the tyres have not gone out of shape especially if they are Avons.

Suspicions confirmed this afternoon, having crawled underneath the UJ
nearest the rear axle has a lot of play so will be ordering new ones asap.
Thanks for your help.
