Checking for vibration

Vibration occurs at full load.

Check the function of the following components:

• front constant velocity joints
• propeller shaft constant velocity joints
• rear drive shaft constant velocity joints
• mounting the propeller shaft, final drive etc.

Remedy by replacing the faulty component.

• Check the wheel balance.

Remedy by balancing the wheels as necessary.

Special equipment is required to balance the propeller shaft. For Sweden and Germany contact the dealership for information. For USA contact "Local Technical Support".

The equipment is not available to other markets. If the propeller shaft is definitely the source of the vibration, replace the propeller shaft
