Hi Guys

Not sure if anyone can help, I normally only use me car for town driving today for the first time i drove the G on the motorway at 70mph all was well until i pulled over to exit as i slowed to to around 30mph and then put my foot back on the gas there was a loud vibration coming from the rear of the car the vibration stopped after i slowed right down I drove the rest of the way at 50mph and the vibration did not re-appear, any idea of the cause

Many thanks

Freddie

Re: Rattle

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your reply, not being mechannicly minded how can i check on the rear UJ's to see if this is the cause, is it a case of just changing them and hoping it solves the problem?

Many thanks

Freddie

Re: Rattle

Lie down underneath and hold each one and check for play over an back each direction side to side, not foreward and back/front to back :) hand brake on level surface and in neutral and ensure not in 4wheel drive. Check posts about vibration also might help
