Hi All

2.4 tddi 52 transit 350 90 chassis cab.....driving at 30-40 and upwards the whole cab vibrates including dash, roof, doors, take foot of throttle and it stops, no vibration from gear stick or clutch pedal.....a bit puzzling....thanks

check prop bearing/s and uj's for play and that bolts are tight first.

will do thanks...will that also poss be related to the prop shaft making clunking noise on moving off

Just an update checked prop bearing and joints everything is secure a minimal play so i really cant see that making it vibrate that badly....
im going to strip rear drums and check shoes and bearings they need a change soon anyway......any other ideas....thanks

Hi
Its only done 117,000 im thinking poss diff bearing but as you know vibration travels so could be coming from anywhere......

Have you lost a balance weight off the propshaft? Look for a clean patch.

Got a broken spring? - under the axle U bolts.

Hi All
Just an update on the vibration....changed diff uj and both centre bearings it is a little better still some vibration but not as harsh as before.
i have noticed a knock like hitting a piece of metal with a hammer (clunk) but not very loud, thats going over a bump in the road, ie small pot hole or speed bump...checked the springs they are fine no breaks, im lost for ideas that maybe the cause of the slight vibration if something is loose or broken but cant spot the problem....thanks
