Just thought I would post this to help others who have the painful vibration issues associated with the zed. I would suggest that after you have had your wheels checked and re-balanced a couple of times and the vibration is still there, that you have your GEARBOX REAR MOUNT checked/changed - and BEFORE you change tyres, swap wheels, remove propshaft, replace centre bearing etc. It's quite a simple job and the mount is not expensive - somewhere around £50.00 I believe. :D
Here is a picture from my 1990 Jap import 2+2 and as you can see it's completely collapsed.
Now you may think looking at this that I had a bad vibration problem - not really! On some days the car was fine, on other days only some vibration at throttle off, and or around 55-60mph - but on other days - I had vibration like I had square wheels almost. So it defies reasonable logic so far as I can tell.
Suddenly my 1990 car feels 2008 again! :dance:
It is a good idea to do the centre bearing whilst your down there with the exhaust off but maybe you want to make that decision following an inspection - I would DEFINATELY do the rear mount first if it has not been done previously.
