As said in the title, I have abit of a shudder. It was there when i bought it, wasent that noticable/rough but it was there. Since then i have done the suspension(overall about 4.5inch lift). Now its strong enough to make the whole car shake and adjust my mirrors for me.
When driving, it only does it from around 15 - 25kph, be it rolling or driving(doesnt matter if it is in gear or not). Ive checked out the unis and they appear fine, gearbox and transfer have good oil. It does it worse when its cool(as in not driven for several hours). And today, after changing the rear gearbox seal, i gave it abit of a rev well the transfer was in N. And there was quite abit of vibration, that isnt there if you rev it in H or L.
So im thinking maybe the transfer is on the way out but im really not sure, any ideas would be sweet!!
Cheers jamie.

Gear box end was smooth as a cheap whore, probally from all the leaking oil. Transfer end was tight, but not what i would of considered too tight. But in saying that, im not sure what could be considerd too tight?
