Big vibrations

Post by classic2cv »

After changing a lower ball joint and passing the Mot with a bit of help (Many thanks Ken)

i've now got another problem

when i accelerate the gear stick starts to vibrate badly if keep my foot down the whole car shakes :?

i haven't had a look yet but could it be the bearing that supports the long driveshaft

(it was the offside ball joint that i swapped)

anyone else had the same problem :?: :?:

whilst unscrewing the lower swivle joint you probably pulled the intermediate drive shaft triac out of its cup, and one or more triac bearing droped off inside the gaitor,

or you have bent the outter section of the drive shaft
