Robert hat ein starkes Vibrieren unter dem Hintern.(vornehm ausgedrückt)
Er spürt die Vibration an Seinem rechten Bein, wenn Er es an den Getriebetunnel anlehnt.
Das Auto ist momentan miserabel zu fahren.
Im Raum LU oder MA weiß ich leider keine Werkstatt.
Ich würde eine Austausch-Welle empfehlen.

Sind die Reifen gewuchtet? Vielleicht ist da irgendwo ein Klebegewicht abgefallen.

Wenn die Welle eine Unwucht hätte, müßte er ja auch ein Vibrieren am Schaltknauf spüren.

I had the tires balanced before I left the States, and I replaced ALL of the wheel bearings, had an alignment, and replaced the outer tie rod ends.

I'm not talking about a vibration in the steering wheel.. I can feel it in the seat and on my right leg. Its coming from the center of the car and its so bad the car is about to fall apart.

oh.. it doesn't do it as bad if at all when the car is COLD

Was ist mit Herstellern von anderen Fahrzeugen?
Z.B. bei John Deere nachfragen oder in einer anderen grösseren Metallverarbeitung.

Wurde eine Welle mal ausgebaut, sind die Gewichte noch da?

To many big german words... :) can't make out what he said.

My plan is to change all 6 U-joints this weekend and see if it changes the vibration but I'm thinking its something with the clutch or trans.. hmmm.. :(


not good.

@Robert

I think, You can exclude the clutch.
Also I don't think, the problem come from the U-joints.
My tip is the transmission exit or the Drive Shaft is crooked. (bent)

Hubsi said, You can ask by "John Deere" (Mannheim - Neckarau) to balance the Drive Shaft.

[Bluewasp]

when you say transmission exit you mean the bushing or the yoke? How hard to fix that if its the problem?

[Magic91]

With transmission exit, i mean the taking up to the Drive shaft.
At once You lift up your car and check the drive shaft with your hands and eyes.
So you can check also the joints.
When you don't find the problem, delete the drive shaft and check the taking up from the shaft.
(it's only a presumption)
