Forum:
I use my fourtrack for towing and am getting a kind of resonance/vibration, particularly in high gears. The problem is worse with a loaded trailer. I notice the engine/gearbox seems to move a lot in low 4wd and wondered if it could be the engine mounts worn.
any suggestions?
Check the propshaft U/J's
Check the propshaft U/J's first as these are prone to wearing.
Engine and gearbox mountings go pappy over time and being so much softer means they can cause this, as could a sheared mounting.
Check the wheel bearings for play, and the steering/suspension joints. Also check the wheels for balance weights knocked off or accumulations of mud in one spot as this would unbalance them.
