Hi Guys

My first post here was asking for help with a vibration problem, I've had a search for any posts where people have had the same thing but cant find anything, some similar things, but none that could lead me to solve it, the problem is still there so any help most appreciated.

 

I had a duff bush on the passenger side tension rod, I replaced this with a second hand one, thanks to Dave C. Ive had all the wheels balanced, 2 new tyres on the front, the old ones seem to be rubbing when on full lock. I had a full alignment done, camber is out on the front. Orignally thought this could be the problem, but no :(

 

This is the problem, when turning and accelerating out of a junction there is a bad vibration that seems toi be coming from just behind the driving position and to the center, this only happens when accelerating round a corner at slow speed, up to around 15mph it does seem a little worse when turning to the right, the faster I accelerate the quicker it goes. There is no vibration if I coast round the corner.

 

There is no problem when pulling away in a striaght line. After reading some of other vibration problem posts I was thinking maybe It has something to do with the prop shaft bearing, there seems to be a few people that have had to replace theirs. Would not the vibration occur even when acceleration in a straight line if the prop shaft bearing is gone?

 

I'm out of ideas what to look for next, Any suggestions?

 

Thanks in advance

hi Lee, im not really an expert on these types of things, but the symptoms of a worn prop shaft centre bearing is vibration at 30mph-ish whether straight line or turning. someone else should be able to help more

I have a complete prop for a 2+2 auto if you find it is that.
