KevAmiga Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 So the saga continues, have had problems since day 1 with wobble from my CR-V. 2007, MK2, 2.0 Petrol, Manual. When i got it, at 50 mph the side to side wobble in the car was pretty bad. Had the wheels balanced - no change Changed the drivers side drive shaft - seemed to fix the problem, except a slight wobble at 20mph. Drove to france towing a caravan, something let go bad, the wobble got super bad. Ordered a 2nd hand drive shaft and intermediate shaft from eBay - wobble mostly gone, except at 55mph again it would do it Ordered an Intermediate shaft from AUTODOC, went to fit it last night... total garbage. So, whilst in the garage I remembered, I had ordered a bearing for the intermediate shaft from Honda direct when I first got the car, so i took the Honda intermediate shaft I had from eBay, and pressed out the bearing, pressed in a new one. Also changed the outer shaft for the J&R shaft i got... and took her for a drive. 99% of the wobble has gone. Which is a step in the right direction. But what I have noticed, is the wobble is worse when the car is turning. Im thinking my next step now, is to do a diff fluid change, maybe the diff clutches are grabbing a little when the car's rear wheels are at differing speeds (ie, turning on the motorway). Anyone else got any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff H Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 I chased a similar problem on a Vauxhall Vectra sri estate. Replaced suspension parts, drive shafts, bearings, discs and callipers. After spending a small fortune, a tyre fitter noticed that there were two buckled alloy wheels, nearside front and rear, the front being the worst. Bought 2 new alloys, fitted and the vibration issue was solved. Might be worth a look? Hope you get it sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
