Well I was in an accident and had the bonnet replaced. I'll adjust the rubber bumps for now and if there is still a problem after that I will get the bonnet alignment checked out.Quote:

FYI, Finally sorted out the vibration problemat 2000rpm usually at higher speeds and only under load.
I have been told it is very common for Euros when they get on in K's. The problem is the inner joint on the drive shaft. I got mine replaced and cost me under $100 each end as I took them out and gave it to the CV joint specialist. Happy nowI don't have a vibration anymore as if my wheels were not bolted up tight:)
Another problem with euros with higher k's is a stretched timing chain which will give you rough idle and sometime fault codes.
Which CV joint specialist did you use? I think I have the vibration as well.Quote:

At first it was a small vibration and slowly got worse untill I couldn't even go uphill on freeways at normal speed, had to travel at 60klm and looked like a D!@k He@d.
Looks like I will have to get myself a spare set of driveshafts. :(
Mine is still minor, only at freeway speeds and it is very subtle in the form of steering wheel vibration. I have ridden in another Euro where the car goes BANGBANGBANGBANG once it exceeds a particular speed and strong throttle is applied.
Yes mine was like the other euro you were in.Quote:

Mine is only under load. I will check again when I am at the racetrack, since the road is flatter there and less defective unlike Sydney roads.Quote:

The 03-07 Euro does not have a mounting bracket. It has rubber hangers which connect in between 2 metal mounting rods.Quote:
