Driveline Vibration

Driveline Vibration
Driveline vibration exhibits a higher frequency and lower amplitude than high-speed shake. Driveline vibration is directly related to the speed of the vehicle and is usually noticed at various speed ranges. Driveline vibration can be felt as a tremor in the floorpan or is heard as a rumble, hum, or boom. Driveline vibration can exist in all drive modes, but may exhibit different symptoms depending upon whether the vehicle is accelerating, decelerating, cruising, or coasting. Check the driveline angles if the vibration is particularly noticeable during acceleration or deceleration, especially at lower speeds. Check that the centre bearing washers between the body and bearing housing are 3mm minimum and 8mm maximum thickness.

In order to diagnose vibrations in the driveshaft, refer to the Jaguar approved diagnostic system for analysis/rectification.
