vp ute
My vg v6 Ute has just developed this bad shuddering noise that sounds like it's coming from the front passenger side
It happened when just starting to accelerate and sounded like I was running over a cattle grid it lasted about 30 seconds then stopped I then drove around 5 ks without any problems then stopped and started and it happened again
Been looking at many things but cannot pinpoint the problem and cannot make it make the same noise when on the jack.
Any ideas would be appreciated

Check your centre bearing it could be starting to crack.

Yeh, I'd check everything along the drive shaft and the engine/gearbox mounts

Could be anything from worn engine mount to exhaust hitting floorpan.

They also make a tick/tap sound when you put head near footrest you'll hear it...that is pulsating fuel lines.

Used to think it was either exhaust leak or extractor hitting something it annoyed the hell out of me lol
