rear judder
« on: 16 September 2018, 21:27:47 »

not long bought a pre facelift witch was originally a 2.5 cdx manual and previous owner  has since fitted a 3.2 and lowered it also, looks nice and mean! drives well except ive noticed when all warmed up more noticeable a judder from off-side rear when taking up drive and turning right say at a junction scenario and also when in reverse can do it at times,i was thinking a tired drivers side rear drive shaft? as it may have been doing some sideways action in its past life! he also stated in his advert he thinks it has a l.s.d. fitted by an owner before him but not sure! what do other members think please.

Run away. Quickly.

At the very least, you want a new diff, but you can guarantee that the rest of the mechanicals are just as knackered.

I hope you didn't pay more than single figures.

I would suspect LSD needing a rebuild. Don't see how you can diagnose a silent diff, but a possible driveshaft issue.  ???

weak rear rubber mountings. could be twisting. you have to take that into account when lowering vehicles. could even be the wrong ones fitted. other judders can be springs and shocks not at the same height. if dif fine and drive shafts fine would check these.

More chance of pulling yer foreskin over yer head to keep yer ears warm I'm afraid.



Granted, the judder may disappear, but not before a big bang first.

Certainly service the LSD immediately. Not next month. Immediately.
