[Rovernet] Vibrations galore---redux

[Lance La Certe]

Ah yes of course.  Excellent advice, as I just realized there were none in place.  Do you or anyone have some they’d be willing to sell without having to buy some across the pond?

Make sure all the bolts have lock tabs when it goes back together -- four lock tabs for eight bolts.  Number 4 in the parts diagram.

Thanks for the update, always good to find out what the problem was. Especially when it’s as scary as that. Not only do those bolts transmit power and braking forces, they also transmit cornering loads to the differential and its mounts!

First, many thanks to all who provided very helpful diagnostic ideas regarding my vibration problems, initial suspect being an unbalance drive shaft.

Checked all the drivetrain mounts; rock solid.    Driveshaft also completely stable.    No movement/slop in any of the universals joints,

BUT as I'm working my way back from the transmission to the drive shaft to the rear differential---VOILA,  two of the 4 bolts holding the left half- shaft and inboard disc to the differential are gone!!!!!!!     The half-shaft is hanging by the remaining two bolts which were on their way out as well!!!!

The moral of this little escape for me is, as usual: The more I know, the more I know what I don't know.

Hopefully this will be helpful information to others........
