Cruising Speed Vibration

[ads1972]

I took my ss ute to holden for the vibration at around 100-110km 1500-1700rpm. They informed me that the tailshaft coupling needs replacing and they put some insulatorson front suspension for the knock and road noise I have been experiencing.

Has anyone else heard or experienced this?

 

[jasonsv6]

knock in the front is a common one.

are they talking about the rubber coupling?

 

[ads1972]

yeah rubber coupling, have you heard about this?

 

[JonnyDe]

Well, what type of vibration? steering wheel, whole car, front end/back end

 

[ads1972]

Throughout whole car and knocking in the front end suspension

my ute is like 3 weeks old and i keep hearing a knock when im driving in a high gear at low revs.
but it sounds like its coming from the tray

 

[ads1972]

yeah I think that is normal, poor fit of liner and ect. I fixed mine by putting hard top on and suppressing any noise.

 

[chris148]

i got a hard top and still get the noise i think i will just have to harrass holden when she gets her first service

 

[jasonsv6]

yeah rubber coupling, have you heard about this?

havent heard of any failing as yet but this is a part that will need replacing in time on all ve's
as they are a dampner on the end of the tail shaft connecting it to the diff

would be very easy to replace and shouldnt be expensiv
