    Cool bad, bad, bad vibrations (sorry Beach Boys)

    With my 1995 Disco, I use to get terrible vibrations at highway speeds AND if I passed over railroad tracks or a nasty dip or bump on the highway.

    At first, i thought it was the steering damper. Swap it out only to find the problem came back soon after. I then checked the shocks and found that they needed to be replaced. After the shocks were changed I never had the terrible vibrations again - and that's been over 7 years and 300,000kms later.

    I'd go with OME shocks if I were you.

    Default The shakes on my disco...

    All I did was change my tires and it went away for about 6 months now......the dealership wanted to do this and that for $$$$$$ and all it was, was the tires!

    If the pan-hard rod bolts are loose it will vibrate or shimmy back and forth whenyou go over bumps and rough road. I replaced the pan-hard bushings a few months ago. After a few hundred miles of driving, I had to re-tourqe the pan-hard bolts. They had come a little loose- not much, but enough to allow a little wheel shimmy over rough road.

    At least that is what I think. Good luck.

    *** Problem 50% fixed ***

    Hi all,

    last friday, I removed a thin shim from the the driver's side swivel pin, refit everything, and went for a test drive outside the city streets, in the country side. (For thoses who knows how bad are our country roads in Quebec...)
    Well, the truck isn't shaking as much as it used to...I'll do the same next week on the right hand side of the truck and I'm pretty sure the problem will be gone.

    Here's a good tutorial.

    Enjoy,

    Prop doughnut is a favourite. They split. I've seen some horendous ones in the workshop. You can change the diff input flange for a 200tdi version and convert it to the earlier Hardy Spicer propshaft.
