Hi guy's

Have a VY SSII LS1 GENIII and for some reason i can feel i slight thudding or thumping through the body when at 100k's along highway, anyone have any ideas? i thought it might be the center tailshaft bearing?

Mine used to do that anywhere above about 80, took my wheels off and found that one wheel had been repaired and never re-balanced. If it's definitely not a wheel balance problem it'd most likely have to be rear of drivetrain - ie the centre bearing, diff, axles even maybe. Couldn't be anything in front of the gearbox.

Thx dashdown, it's due for wheel alignment and balance so will see what happens after that
