Diagnosis And Testing - Front Axle - 195FIA: Vibration
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
Vibration at the rear of the vehicle is usually caused by:
- Damaged drive shaft
- Missing drive shaft balance weight(s)
- Worn or out-of-balance wheels
- Loose wheel lug nuts
- Worn U-joints/CV joint
- Loose/broken springs
- Loose pinion gear nut
- Excessive pinion yoke run out
Check for loose or damaged front-end components or engine/transmission mounts. These components can contribute to what appears to be an axle vibration. Also look at engine accessories, brackets and drive belts.

All driveline components should be examined before starting any repair.
