...on a rather solid '75 Spitfire with O/D.....
Can anyone describe... what a failing CV driveshaft
joint feels like?
Just yesterday I noticed a rather weird vibration.....
almost felt/sounded like a cylinder not firing (load on the engine)
between 1500 - 3000 rpm. Third gear seemed the worse.
Decelerating... I was waiting for the 'clang' of something breaking.
Accelerating and cruising at say... 45 mph it really isn't that
noticeable....and yes... is seems engine speed dependent.
Ujoints, bearing, etc. on suspension components all appear
to be snug. (fairly new all the way around)
Driveshaft balance??? gearbox? broken crank? ??????????
any WAGs accepted!!
