I've a new vibration that's just started up on my JLUR and it's driving me nuts!
Once in a while when I hit a bump or uneven surface on the road I get a weird vibration and noise that comes up from the front wheels and through the steering column. It's nothing like the dreaded 'death wobble', more like the sensation you get from driving over a rumble strip on the edge of a road. It's just a short 1-second burst and the sound is pretty much what you get from one of those spring door stoppers:
The most likely cause would be that something like the exhaust has come loose on it's mountings and it's occasionally getting twanged but I've had a good root around under the vehicle and there's nothing obvious. Has anyone of you good folks experienced this and fixed it or have a good suggestion on where I might start looking? There's a lot of gear hanging under there!
Thanks.
