tail shaft is fine,,already been fixed,,it only does it when decelerating from above 90 kph,,the only thing i can think of is either the harmonic balancer or the engine mounts.

is it a full body vibration or could you localize it? (front, middle, rear)as it sounds like it has to be drive train somewhere, but i would fix the mounts to be sure.

yeah engine mounts or harmonic balancer what else foward is there, i was thinking diff as well.hence (front, mi9ddle, rear). everything vibtates at different resanacers so 90 kph is the spot. for u. but it might also be engine internal. but definatly do the mounts it could just be that that 90 kph resanates

whoa this is weird, im having the exact same problem, but ive changed harmonic balancer, got my dif reco'd, new uni joints, new engine mounts, and its still there!

the only thing i can think of is the tailshaft is unbalanced?

over 90 km/h on deceleration, the cabbin viabrates, mainly under me, but under that, shes all sweet, under acceleration over 90 its all fine, till you back off ...

i am going to try replaceing the mounts first,then see what happens,if it doesn't fix it then the tail shaft will be looked at.

who does tail shaft balancing ?

i found out it will cost between 110 the 130 to get the shaft balanced,does anybody have a good set of engine mounts or know how much they are from freud or knw of good non genuin ones ?
