bad vibration while driving
My cars vibrating quite badly while driving, does it all the time but seems to be worse when turning left, Its not knocking at slow speed its more at 30mph and above. Ive had all the wheels checked for balancing and there all spot on.
I've recently had new cv boots put on it as the o/s boot coming out the the diff had split and been loosing grease, the breaing inside there looked ok, no play in it. Could this bearing be the issue even though it looked ok, as im presuming it had been running dry due to loosing grease??
If i dip the clutch it dosent make a diffrence either theres kind of like a whering noise.
If not, can anyone think of anything else it could be?
Cheers.

I can only think its the bearing on the O/S driveshaft where it comes out of the diff :dontknow:
Anyone else have any ideas?

Try it round corners and listen to which side is worse, lock to lock. (pref a car park)

It has now started knocking as i drive along, the faster i go the faster the knocking, dosent make a diffrence if im going in a stright line or around corners, slow or fast.
I have been advised it could be the diff or gearbox, this could explain the knocking, BUT would that explain the vibration im getting through the steering wheel?
Any ideas? Im stuck with this one!
Wheel nuts are tight
Wheels have been balanced and re-balanced to double check
No play in any joing or bearings.
Help would be much appreciated!

I had this, a small weight used to balance the back wheel was catching on a tube on the back axle. Took me ages to figure it out!!

I need to know weather this could be caused by the gearbox or diff as all the joints and bearing thats have been checked all seem fine. Wheel nuts are tight and wheels are balanced corrctly, plus suspension struts all seem tight with no movement in them
Thanks

If you jack up both fronts and spin the wheels in neutral do you hear anything. Or run it in gear while on axle stands to see if you can hear anything. Bear in mind that the angle of your driveshafts maybe different whilst on jacks which could make any shaft noises disappear.

or also i put some old tyres on to get to the mot station and they had delaminated inside and it felt like driving on cobble stones.
