Vibration Troubleshooting


Superjet

Recommended Posts

Hi, we've enjoyed our 2008 Edge for the past 3 years, and so far its been pretty good to us. We bought the car at 85K miles, and it is now at 140K, and surprisingly we haven't run into the PTU leak in our 55K miles of ownership.

 

Right now we are experiencing a vibration at around 20-30mph however. It is speed dependant, and happens whether accelerating or decelerating. Our mechanic recommended replacing the tires first, as they showed some cupping. Today we put new tires on, and the vibration is about 75% reduced..... but still present.

 

Any thoughts on what to look at next?

Took my technician for a ride now that it has new tires, he thinks it may be the driveshaft carrier bushings. I searched online and it seems to be fairly common actually. If it indeed is the problem, a new driveshaft is the only solution

 

This post shows what I think my issue may be

I want to remove the rear driveshaft in my AWD Edge to to see if the vibration goes away, thus eliminating the possibility of having a bad driveshaft. Does any one know the procedure. I understand it can be done? there is an AWD fuse that is required to be removed along with the driveshaft. jjust want to troubleshoot and see if I can isolate the problem
