Vibrating question - 12/15/2005 6:45:22 AM    samsly Posts: 49 Joined: 11/5/2005 Status: offline Whenever I am making a turn, may it be right or left, the wheel vibrates, well feels like the entire front end is shaking. Does anyone know what could be the cause of it?? I was told at first it was the tires, bought four new ones and it is still doing the same thing! Got it balanced.. same thing! Any answer would be appreciated.. _____________________________ Lets party.. Post #: 1

I always just ignored it but it does sit in the back of my mind however. I am interested in knowing also what this is and if its normal. I have a 2002 Range Rover 4.6hse..

(bent rotor?) do you need alignment do to bad camber? + or - or pigeon toed? _____________________________ 2005 Freelander and LR3 [IMG]http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s25/kawasaki05z1000/Land%20Rover%20and%20off%20road/freelandersigpic.png[/IMG] (in reply to samsly) Post #: 4

See http://rangerovers.net/rrmkiiiremedies.html#steervibe if you are interested. Can't help if we don't know the specifics. (in reply to samsly) Post #: 6

RE: Vibrating question - 12/31/2005 10:14:16 PM    teamyonex   Posts: 92 Joined: 6/6/2005 Status: offline I think there RR owners should start using an LTD index (Length of Time to Dealership) when discussing RR problems, i.e. "immediately," "give it a week," or "get use to it." There don't seem to be more than a handful of examples of RR owners fixing problems themselves. We typically discuss it, then determine that it should go to the dealer. Different questions, same answer. (in reply to samsly) Post #: 9

RE: Vibrating question - 1/1/2006 8:37:13 PM    Bait   Posts: 631 Joined: 1/13/2005 From: USA Status: offline "LTD" LOL ! All kidding aside. Sam, you purchased a luxury SUV made in England. It is like no other in the States. Very few independent shops know much about them. Unfortunately you sound like you have had bad experiences at Domestic Dealerships. I understand and have had the same experience. LR Dealers are different. They care about customer service. Don't believe me, ask current owners. Very few will say they had a bad experience with the dealer. Many may say they were not happy with the vehicle, but not with the dealer. Vibration. My guess is that the dealer will tell you the viscous coupler in the transfer box is bad. This allows the front and rear drive shaft to turn at different speeds around turns. The coupler alone is $1700.00 US if I remember correctly. If you have over 60K I would recommend a factory rebuilt t-box, $2,500.00 I think. So for a hundred bucks you might have gotten a proper diag ? Sometimes you get what you pay for ? Sometimes not. (in reply to teamyonex) Post #: 10
