Background; weird vibration like bad TRE's and/or bad axles.
happens at all speeds, feels like flat spot on tire at low speeds, but feels sorta like bad axle when accelerating, but happens whether or not on gas, or in neutral.
I've also recently replace my bevel gear sleeve; vibration was/is present both before and after sleeve fixed my AWD, (so I know that it's not the driveshaft as it was not spinning before sleeve fix).
Here's what I've replaced on suspension;
Replaced:
control arms
ball joints
outer TRE's & left inner TRE
brakes (all)
lower torque mount
both front axles with DSS one's (wondering if right one is defected)
left front wheel bearing/hub
I noticed with the car on the lift, and only turning the left (drivers side axle, with right axle removed), there is no up/down vibration on trans./bevel gear area. However, as soon as I reinsert the right axle I see a weird up/down movement on the entire engine/trans/bevel gear.???
Also, My engine does not jump around when in P or N as to suggest a bad motor mount(s).
Also had car aligned, tires checked/balanced not too long ago (did TRE's first), although I'm due for another alignment after replacing control arms.
I'm starting to wonder if my right side DSS axle is bad?? Is it a motor mount (although I doubt it)?? Bad right side wheel bearing?? :confused:
