vr vibrations\shudder
hi guys, im chasing a vibration\shudder i have in my vr v6. It occurs at 60k's and gradually gets worse with higer road speed. Feels like its front end related. So far i have replaced rear shocks, drive shaft & centre bearing, trans mount, srut mounts and bearings, new wheels and tyres and f\end alignment, dotors and pads. It feels like a very bad wheel imbalance\buckled rim, but the wheels and tyres are a1 and tried on another vehicle and felt fine. Eng mounts are 6months old. Rack ends are fine as are all bushes and tie rod ends. Im running out of things it could be, so can anyone maybe shed some light on what it may be. Cheers ash

Id say you need a Wheel balance/ alignment
definitly not alignment or wheel balance. just been done. tried my wheels on my other vr and they have no probs on it. im leaning towards stuffed struts, but wouldnt think stuffed struts could cause vibration/ shudder through front foot wells???

NEED 4 SPEED
Front end vibrations will be felt through the steering wheel.
Are the vibes and shudder quite prominent through the steering wheel or is it more a body shudder?
yeah more a body shudder. car tracks straight and doesnt pull to one side at all.

need boost...
If it's live axle could be your upper trailing arms, the ones that go from the top of the diff onto the body.
about $100 for a set of new ones off ebay, install yourself in 5 minutes.

If you put it in Neutral when shuddering does the shudder go away? If you back off when it's shuddering does it go away? Are the bolts that hold the K frame/subframe on tight?

still the same when in neutral. was just thinking about the k frame hako as it was removed about 12months ago for sump gasket replacement. ill put it up on the hoist in the morning and check the bolts havent come loose.

i am having this same problem with my vr at the moment only reasonably new working on cars so if u have any answers to this problem please let me know
cheers,
mick
hi mate, yeah problem has been solved. turned out the new rims i got were not fitted with locating rings on the hubs and were only locating on the wheel studs causing all 4 wheels to be not hub centric, ie not running true. id start by getting wheels balanced first mick, then go from there looking at rack ends, tie rod ends and suspension bushes. cheers ash
