|
|
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.
