Propshaft balance near Swindon

[zeppelin101]

Anywhere that can do this for me? How long is it likely to take as well? I'm heading off to Anglesey Thursday afternoon so would need it done in the morning if possible!

Got quite a severe vibration at speed which appears to be the prop from looking at it yesterday and want to get it balanced with the spacer I've put on to try and cure it.

Try undoing the four bolts on the middle join of the prop and turning the back prop 45 degress ;) Sometimes if not put back on exactly the same as it came off will cause the prop to virbrate, cant remember why but been there myself. :thumbs:

Oh right I'll give that a whirl this evening then. Cheers!

Is the spacer hub centric? It needs to sit in the recess otherwise it will vibrate. The prob should be balanced what ever way round it's fitted. Unless the prop has been damaged at some point.

Yeah it sits perfectly on the end of the prop. Once it's on there it rotates but there is no movement in any other direction, quite a tight fit.

It also needs to be square. Why have you got a spacer in there out of interest?

R33 diff is shorter than the S13 one due to lack of ABS. I've not seen a factory non ABS in the breakers section in ages so I just went and got a spacer made up. Definitely sits square too.
