Humming Noise and Vibration

[Sweety]

Looked at prices on Milners, the ujs are reasonable but the front shaft is rather costly

No need for a full prop if it turns out to be shot UJ's

 

[clivvy]

Just read above, if Clivvy doesn't think it's that don't waste your money just yet, go for a wheel change and see what happens then

don't take my word for it, the UJ's is a good suggestion well worth looking at anyway.

One point to note, the vibration seems to get worse the faster Jim went, but I cant quite remember if that was due to the "turning" of something, or just general road speed, point being the UJ's could still be the issue?!

It is the most likely scenario.
If you look back at my link in post #21 you will see that only one journal of the front UJ was stuffed. This caused a very specific vibration at 50~60MPH.

Had a very kind offer to give me a hand with it tonight so the favour bank is a little overdrawn by now. So should have some news later tonight. It is defo related to speed. To be honest I felt so uncomfortable with it I haven't taken it much above 60 anyway. Once shaft removed and proven culprit then I'll leave it off for a while until I get the shaft repaired at least I'll be able to use the truck.

And with the shaft out the it will be diagnosed, and hopefully noise gone.

Front prop shaft UJ, good call Rayf :clap:clap

Many thanks to bigbunny :clap:clap

Propshaft removed and drives fine now so she's a 2x4 for a while until we have time to sort it out.

Sweet that's great news.

I don't know the exact mechanics of it but surely now it will be a great time to strip and rebuild any worn bits and internals ect? :nenau

good news issue located.

by time read whole thread others had suggested what was thinking

was going to say for test purpose undo at diff end and tie it up out of way
to save full removal for testing elimination of judder.

as if kept in 2wd would be isolated, but gather off now atleast can service it,

Would be fine if auto hubs, but if fixed hubs, the prop shaft would still be driven via the front diff.:thumb2

I offered to send him a set of Auto hubs out in the post way back on page one which would have also sorted the issue

Do I get any credit :nenau :lol

 

[rustic]

...The reason I think its something turning, the drive shaft or prop shafts...

I think the first reference to a possible prop shaft issue was in post 15 by Clivvy...

:clap:clap

Although Sweety mentioned UJ's in post 6... :clap

You going to attempt to do the UJ's on it?

NO! There are 12 bolts, 6 a side to fit auto hubs, but only 8 to remove the front prop shaft....:doh

:lol:lol

Also there is cost involved in your diagnosis, (postage) you know we like to do things as cheap as possible on this site...:lol

OK it would have also helped, so some credit due.... (but not much) :lol

Makes me giggle infact I'm in tenerife on holiday's and still have a look to see was up as I've still got that noise between 50 and 60 and I see it may well be my front ujs

sadly this wont cure mine as I have not got the flanged hubs so diff and prop don't turn until 4wd is engaged on transfer box.
got wheel bearing on order which should be here for weekend that im hoping will cure mine.:nenau
failing that the stereo goes louder:lol:lol

Sounds like you've got it sussed mate, not much else that rumbles or vibrates under speed other than props, diffs and bearings on these that make noises

Any good with those washers? :augie

 

[elty001]

still waiting mate.
not run any stainless for a while but as soon as he does he is doing me 100 of them.
also supposed to be making me some hardened shims for adjusting the camber which I was promised two days ago.cant really grumble as he is not charging me for them just a favour in return when he needs something powdercoated.
good news is wheel bearings have arrived so will get them fitted over weekend.:clap
