when turning (mainley right hand down) on long bends.........just put 4 tyres on and noticed the fronts were worn on the inside edge.......i've had the tracking done but i think it hasn't been done right.......cheers

 

You mean they are now new tyres ? i.e. no strange wear ?

I had a similar thing on my merc and changed

front discs
rear discs
front wheel bearings
anti roll bar links
lower ball joints
had tracking done

then............. noticed the two front tyres were worn on the inside, changed them and job done

Was nieve to it as I couldn't see how tyre wear alone would give the car the shakes.

 

cv joint....

 

Dave Moss had this on Helens saph recently, turned out to be the cv joint iirc

 

...just been mot'd....???? yes it's on new tyres.........

edit: It wasn't the CV, just read it

 

cv joint are nothing to do with mot.

cv boots are testable if they are split....but not the joints unless like some real old lotus cars,the shaft holds the suspension together


cv joints,and inner joints are very common problems on 4x4 cossies,they are at a stupid angle,and lowering makes it worse....also check engine mounts,as they split and allow the engine to lift,causing shaft issues

 

..............the garage i use knows to "fix all problems"......but will pop in and have them check.........the cars not on it's arse.....koni&AB height....and it's got collins uprated mounts.....(on since rebuild...15k)........cheers for ur help....off the garage again.......

 

its normally the inner joint that causes greif....and quite hard to see a problem, i had a similar judder on mine,and new inner tripods cured it,even though the old ones looked ok...pain in the ass to diagnose...

 

Pete it may just be your driving

 

........not ruling that out.......

 

Sound like cv joint mate

 

had the tracking done again....it WAS out,so hopefully that'll stop the tyres wearing.....but it hasn't sorted the judder..................bugger

 

4x4 or 2wd?

 

4x4

 

have you changed the driveshaft on the passenger side? perhaps for an xr4x4 one?

 

Might be one of the three bearings on the end of the drive shaft. One of mine broke into 3 and shook like fuck when going over 60mph... Got a second hand shaft and joint and it sorted it.

 

.......nup...next question.....i asked the lad who m.o.t'd it and he said he checked the front end of the car with a bar and everything felt ok......so i have to drop it off again for another look

 

pete, your just looking for faults with the car now, LOL
