Vibrations grew. Finally they were disturbing. I started to fear something was wrong with the gearbox or converter. The engine ran smoothly and perfect, so it wasn't a power problem. Friends guessed a bad mount or a bad joint in a propeller shaft. I gave Fredrik (a friend from SLRK) a call and asked if I could pop by at his work to do a check in their grease pit. He was going to work at one of his cars the same evening, so he could gladly help me out.
So, with two epson greens side by side I almost made up my mind to let Plutten get this beautiful tint as well.
It took Fredrik less than a anything to confirm that it was a bad universal joint that most likely caused my problems.
Again our kitchen table was made with car parts.
For the moment we better stick to the road. We now have an ordinary SUV, a car that looks as if you could use it off road. But on the other hand, I didn't always use four wheel drive when off roading with my series3. Anyhoo, the disco almost felt like a racing car in two wheel drive, joke, but I imagined that it in some way felt lighter. Like a VW-van.
I think I have to give the shaft to Daniel asap, he has promised to help me with the joint change. I have to admit that it makes me nervous driving around with a lot of lights shining at the dashboard. TC-info, ABS-warning, dif lock light...
Well, this was it for today.
Constant 4WD is quite a step backwards, I think.
