car not too well

Recommended Posts

I own a 2004 2.7 s type  auto ,with apx 84000 miles on the clock.

 

Car has started to `judder a bit `under med /hard acceleration.mainly around the 40 -50 mph range.

Also a slight `booming noise` from the rear offside  (connected)?.

Engine runs smoothly at idle and doesn't seem to be source of judder.

Car did get rather wet going through deep floods 10 days or so ago ,wonder if this could be source of problem as I did have to dry out some water from rear of car(not much). (and all electrics working fine since  etc).

Have used car a bit since and appeared ok.

Boot dry.

Ideas anyone as to cause?... could it be as simple as a wheel need re-balancing?

Booming noise, could be rear shock absorber or something.... maybe even a wheel bearing although they are more of a whine than a boom. Maybe the juddering is weights, maybe when you hit a pothole a weight may have fallen off the wheel which means it may need rebalancing.

Have been to my local tyre doctor.

One tyre has worn "out of shape".  (falkens-- all round)........no pun intended.

Has to order in new tyre.Will change both tyres on same axle and have it re-tracked.

No other cause of noises could be seen.

will get tyres fitted then see if any untoward noises are present ,and take it from there.

Will let you know what happens.

Well since last posting about my jags ills. Lots of things have gone on to stop me replying and updating you.

After a delay due to illness and family problems ( in which time car wasn't driven)  I took the jag to a specialist near preston.

He has diagnosed antifreeze contamination in gearbox which is now toast and needs rebuilding.

Boo hoo.----There goes the wifes new kitchen fund  (Havn`t told her yet).

I know the feeling. I had to promise SWMBO that I would give up my season ticket in the best stand which effectively stopped my going up to  Lancashire every other weekend to watch Rugby League!
