Another VY lol, check your A/C compressor seems to be all the same issue, sheared off studs, also read the fan can cause it thorough the radiator rubber mounts. IAC not responding faster enough, have you tried pulling the fault codes. Leads called be failing or earthing out, have a look in the dark and see if your leads have xmas lights.

Is it vibrating before you drive off, or as you drive ???????????????

If ?????? before you drive off then wrong engine mounts. Need genuine mounts not aftermarket.

If ????????? as you drive, then tyres have a flat spot from sitting overnight.

Yeah, nahh, this is not what I was thinking when I read the title.....

But, Lowering shouldn't effect drive line vibrations because it doesn't alter the drive line angle as the diff doesn't move except if you're C.V's are fucked and lowering the rear will make them work in a different spot (kinda like a FWD car with stuffed C.V's) but they would need to be seriously worn.

Did you use genuine style engine mounts?

could be the center tail shaft bearing or a uni joint, I would imagine if you had a wheel issue like a flat spot or wheel bearing or tie rod you would feel it in your steering wheel .
"what's the bush that maintain stable if you rock steering wheel side to side " ? Tie rod ends, lower control arm, radius rod bush, sway bar link pins, one of these could answer your question.

Bahahahah looser than a kings cross hooker lol

Yea noticed this morning the vibration grinds through the engine or somewhere when i take off with pedal/throttle

Mounts are all genuine

The new trans mount has helped the cruise as its smoother and quieter and can hear noisy tyres more now, but not this shudder vibration thing is not gone

also read the fan can cause it thorough the radiator rubber mounts...pardon mate?? Rewrite this??

Tail shaft is slightly noisy rumblee but its still in tact

I had 235 x 35 19" tyres on my vt. After about 3 years l could feel a vibration & sometimes pulsing through the seat. Wondered what the fck it was?
Thought diff, tailshaft, drive shafts, tailshaft centre bearing, usual crap.

I jacked the rear up, passenger side rear tyre had a bulge in it. Replaced tyre & all good. About a year later the drivers' rear went. Not long after that l was wondering about the other two tyres, & yeah, they were cactus too. Yes they were replaced too.
