Title: Strange Vibrations at 60km/h — Driveshaft?
Post by: HanishAlpha on Jul 05, 2025, 11:40 AM
Hi guys, facing a weird vibration between 55-65km/h. Smooth below that and after 70 it fades. Thought it was tyres, got them balanced. Still there.

Could this be a driveshaft issue? U-joints? Anyone faced something similar on a 200TDi Defender?

I had the same on my 110 — turned out to be worn U-joints on the rear prop shaft. Quick test: jack up one side and rotate manually, if there's any play, time to replace.
