Strange rumble from front end when lifting off throttle
Hello all
Newbie...so treat me gently
I have a D3 diesel auto which has a 'strange' rumble from the front when I lift off the throttle around 50 mph....almost feels like unbalanced wheel...but weird as it does not happen if
a) I lift off throttle above 60 mph
or
b) I slightly feather the throttle after I lift off then lift off again
I suspect a front diff issue....I had both wheel bearings changed and no better.....also changed transfer box oil....havent done diff oil yet....but could do with some sound advice please
many thanks
