waylowkp Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 hey all, my wagon has just developed a nasty shudder, almost like axle tramp, on take off,and has nasty wheel shake doing anything over 85km, can any one suggest what it could be and how to fix it? has had recent wheel alignment and balance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTERUS Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Has it been getting progressively worse or just BAM SHITSTORM. Were you driving at the time? Clutch dumps into kerbs perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriscross Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 try jack the car up check that nothing is loose,check all the rubber bush's in the leaf springs are still ok, turn the wheels and see how they feel, and see if there any noise comming from them! ke70s are pretty simple car so souldnt be to hard to find what is the prob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dell'orto Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 You've just swapped gearbox eh? Didn't forget to tighten up gearbox mounts/driveshaft hanger bolts/ drive flange bolts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chopdog Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Check the u bolts are tight, They can some loose and make for interesting driving. Also check no body has loaded up a wheel with stick on wheel weights, good trick but a pain in the arse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTERUS Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Have you driven or been in a car with a puk clutch? Does it shudder like that on the release of the clutch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phtmbl Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 check your universal joints on your drive shaft, they do not normally develop issuse over night but it is common for you not to feel them until they are stuffed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waylowkp Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 yup very similar to a puk clutch release, only more violent, will check all u bolts etc when i get a minute. and yeah the shake thats over 85km feels like the universal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
