I know this is a hard question but i have lost the spacers that go between the center bearing and the body of the car. would a slight hight differance make for strong vibrations at high speeds. i have put in place washers to try and get the right hight but im getting vibrations at around 55 -60k km/h
No there's something else wrong. "would a slight hight differance make for strong vibrations at high speeds"
They are 7.0mm Doubt that's the cause though. Does the vibration go away after 10 min's of driving ? Too much play in one U-joint ?
the shafts have to be reinstalled in the same position as they came out, if you didn't mark them before you disassembly, they will be out of balance.
Are there any marks on the tail shaft and the gear box that can tell me if have the shaft in the right position?
Out of balance with what? Everything that spins is balanced on their own. I've never had an out of balance problem from not lining up the tail shaft splines to the box splines the same way it came out.
I think geoff means the actual position of the center bearing . It is adjustable in relation to the body of the car
Take a look at the manual, it clearly says to mark the flanges before disassembly, so when it's reassembled the alignment is the same. You can balance a tail shaft until its perfect, but if its not aligned it will still vibrate. Some people get lucky (like you) and dont have a problem, others are not so lucky, and have on going problems. A paint pen and 6 dots, get it now.
The two halves of the tailshaft are balanced together (as one unit), so if you don't reconnect them in the same alignment then the whole tailshaft will be out of balance. If they balanced each half individually then this wouldn't be a problem.
I have taken the whole tail shaft to get balanced and the whole tail shaft is balanced. There is only one way the tail shaft can be bolted onto the lsd right? The only thing I can think of is if I have put the tail shaft in the wrong way in the gear box, I don?t know if this is a huge problem or not
