Vibration

I've narrowed it down to this - there's a vibration felt (not through the steering) but the body seems to be shaking a fair bit in 2nd gear at 2-2250rpm under load and at about 25mph. However, if it's at the same speed and rpm except only part throttle it (about 1/2" pressed down) then the vibration can't be felt.

Same thing occurs under load at about 3k rpm in 4th gear, at around 60 mph. After that it's silky smooth.

Question: is this an mount issue? However, didn't really felt this before until I had my shocks and springs replaced along with a rear camber arm fitted. My mech blames it on the rear camber arm but I am sure that's not the case.

Thanks

Hi,

I am getting the same symptoms. Did you find the cause of the vibration?

Thanks,

retroom
