SUZUKI SAMURAI 1300 VIBRATING PROBLEM

[madman ray]

Hi all i got bad vibrasions cuming from my susuki sj,i took the back prop shaft off 2 see if it was that and drove it and the vibrasions wer still ther so i put that bk on and took the front 1 off,i then drove it againe and its not as bad but the vibrating is still ther a lill bit,also the gear box keeps jumping out of fith so would that have anything 2 do with it.. any hellp plzzz ?????

Maybe a broken engine, gearbox or transfer box mount?

They can cause very bad vibrations!

Either that or a diff? I'd think that would change if you took the props off though

[madman ray]

ill chek all the mounts in the morning..thing is wen i took the front prop off it didnt do it hardly at all bu i can still feel it ther,may be the diff is playing up.. thanks 4 the reply

Possibly wheel bearings or wheel balance

Does the vibration come through the steering or brake pedal

Is it all the time or just under braking or coasting ?

[madman ray]

i cant feel it through the steering,its wen im driving and sends a vibrating sound rite through the truck

[Christoff]

Probably diff, props or transmission then, have you had the oil out of any of them?

[Christoff]

In fact i would check all the mounts first, including suspension mounts. Has anything been modified in any way. Uprated or stiffer mounts will transmit more noise and vibration

[madman ray]

shakle lift thas all,ill chek all oil 2 moz and make sure the mounts r ok and evrything is tight on it..

[twiss]

If you have free wheeling hubs, compare the difference when in lock and free modes.
If the vibrating stops in free, it's probably your front diff!

It would be worth jacking the truck up and wiggling the wheels to check the kingpin bearings are ok as well

If its an engine mount that is gone it is hard to tell with it still fitted, best to take the weight of them with a jack under the sump/engine hoist and pull one out at a time to look at.
