Millet 4,497 Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 I went to a garage Mike and got the full veichle checked..the prop and clutch where fine but it still went band as i did not get the bottom end of the engine checked.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bignoel 14 Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 the clutch and engine seem perfect infact the engine purrs like a cat lovely .pulls like a train . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hily 379 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 i now nowt about navaras but if you can take one prop off and road test if vibration still on then put the prop back on and take the other off and road test will get you closer to the poblem had to do this with landy 90 got it down to a bent output shaft in the transfer box. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Millet 4,497 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I'm sure with a bent prop the vibration would get worse with speed and not go away..i drove over a concrete post in a wagon year's ago and bent the prop..the wagon drove ok till i went over 30mph and got worse with speed.

Chid 6,378 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 do navaras have a centre diff lock? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Millet 4,497 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Not that i'm aware off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chid 6,378 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Not that i'm aware off. just checked they dont have a centre diff lol still say the vibration is a wheel out of balance and the judder is a clutch/dual mass flywheel problem Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bignoel 14 Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 the juddering i think was me as its not there anymore at all only the vibration which seems lighter since pulling the horsebox ?i am going to grease the nipples on the props today to see if the packing out stops it 1 prop at a time else its off they come .

bignoel 14 Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 but surely if the wheels are unbalanced the streering wheel would be shaking like a whore ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bignoel 14 Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 had the rear wheels balanced and 90% of it has vanished ,but there is a slight vibration only. the mechanic said it is the centre main rubber on the prop .so thanks for all the reply and surgestions it has been a great help thanks guys Quote Link to post Share on other sites
