Front End Vibration

[ant]

Hey all, just after some assistance/direction for a vibration that I have noticed in my D22. So I noticed the vibration/shudder when in 4H with the hubs locked. If im in 4H with the hubs unlocked, there is no shudder. Same if I am in 2H with the hubs locked, the shudder is not there, only when in 4H with the hubs locked. Any ideas what it could be or where to start looking? Thanks all.

Uni joints in the front tail shaft could be a possibility, especially since it only happens when you're driving all 4 wheels

I'd agree with Nick, that would be the first thing to check.

mud on one side of front prop shaft making it out of balance?

Nah she is pretty clean underneath at the moment. So front drive shaft unis hey, Ill have a look at them. Is there any visual signs to look for with them?

Get hold of your shaft and give it a firm tug, is there excess play when you wiggle it?.

Check the four bolts on the shaft are tight too.
