I'm assuming FWD..?? Get under and have a look, if it's vibrating that much, one would think the problem will be rather obvious....grab hold of each shaft and give them a good pulling..! :wink: A worn inner or outer CV joint often gives this sort of issue. Check for torn/split CV boots too, signs of grease etc...

We have exactly the same issue. Had a quick shake of the driveshafts both rattle a little. I'll get it on the ramps have a proper look. Did you have any luck Nastynik?
