And that is why we NEVER used the term Nearside/Offside in the industry, always left and right viewed from the driver’s seat, made no difference which market the variant was for.  Regards

Hi Carlsson,

Can you pls explain the term "near side" for me, I am not a native...
What symptom did the the bearing have that made you to go for a change?

Thanks!

Fixed. As the warranty had expired on our FL2 have started the usual jobs. Put 4 new tyres on this week. Vibration completely gone. ____________________________

FL2 SD4 XS - Current
FL2 TD4 GS (Auto) - Gone
FL1 TD4 Freestyle (Auto) - Gone

I have one odd tyre new but not the landrover scorpion verde, hums badly in dry weather, non existent in the wet, tyre are a key point to investigate.

Nice one Ian

Having changed the driveshaft mine slowly returned and to be honest I've just put up with it... however, after a 3 week spell of many miles and not washing it the wobble was getting worse when I did finally get the jetwash out I noticed the amount of brake dust coming from the nearside so gave it a proper 5 minute blast at all angles around the caliper, front and rear then carried on washing the car thinking nothing of it. Got in it the next morning to drive to work... no wobble!! Wobble returned slowly during the week and when it finally stopped raining long enough for me to have a quick look I found some uneven wear on the disc and the pads not looking great so currently got a new set of discs and pads in the boot waitng (again!) for it to stop raining so I can get the fitted with everything crossed!!!

That could well be the pads catching at a certain point on the disc so would defo give you a wobble .., like you after replacing a ton of parts I’ve decided to live with my vibrations as I can’t find the culprit . It’s taking us on a 600 mile holiday soon so no doubt whatever it is will probably show it’s self when we are 300 miles from home lol...

a sticky calliper will cause a wheel wobble,pads and discs hot ,highlights disc run out.and as there is a lot of dust I suspect that's the case.

Hope so Tim, I'll keep you posted! Enjoy your hols... I'm sure it'll be fine

Well... after a marathon 5 hours (LH disc inner face rusted so wouldn't come over the hub!) surprised to find genuine pads and only half worn. LH disc was lipped and scored and both guide pins were badly gummed at the end. All cleaned up and greased.. new coated discs and pads fitted (RH side took 20 minutes as the disc fell off) all back together so off for test drive... wobble still there!!! only faint but as Tim says... you know its there brakes deffo needed changing so for the sake of 60 quid and 5 hours (!) was well worth it.
My conclusion, based on all the parts both myself and Tigertim have now changed is that it is the bearing in the gearbox where the LH (nearside) driveshaft goes into the gearbox. I've still got vertical movement there so am almost certain this is the cause. With everything changed its almost unnoticeable so I'm going to park this issue now and put it down to part of the personality of my car

copy and paste this http://www.lrman.ru/freelander/2/power/fue...uator_stem

give this a try turbo actuator sticking . vibration / slight hesitation .wd 40 actuator arm first to free then grease with something like this high temp grease K2 Ceramic Grease High Temperature 1400°c mine seems far better

Well, I read through every post in this thread and it's not conclusive unless I missed a bunch. I have the i6 auto, is this shudder/judder only with the 4 cylinders?

I'll try again, is this issue also applicable to the i6 autos?

I read the entire thread and maybe I missed the answer.

Motion.....I think this issue is only on the diesel vehicles, relax we have the bullet proof one  Regards

@Boxbrownie, thanks! I might have forgotten my hypochondriac meds today...........

Hi, I’m new here and looking to see if anyone can help. I have a FL2 2010 Xs . I recently had it in at landrover having a belt change and water pump change and some side steps added. Since I got the car back it has started vibrating around 50-70mph on the motorway. Doesn’t matter if I’m accelerating or not. It’s became extremely annoying and there’s a vibrating noise at the same time. I took it back to the garage and they looked at it, they said the bearings/prop shaft seemed to be fine. I replaced the tyres and had them balanced too. Problem still there. I took it to another garage and they also said the prop shaft is fine but they suggested that it might be to do with the sidesteps that had been fitted . Garage is extremely busy just now so he wasn’t able to take the side steps off to have a look. My question is... has anyone had a problem with side steps being fitted and are they easy to take off myself so that I can see if the noise goes away without the sidesteps! Can anyone think of anything else that might cause the vibrations as I’m going demented with it now. My next option is just to replace the prop shaft and hope it helps but at £900+vat, I’m reluctant incase it’s something else . Thanks
