Time to put my evo away

[caledonianewan]

I just took my car out,and threw it around roundabouts etc, and I get an incredible judder on right hand turns. All is good when driving normally. I did have a clunking when turning right, so thought it might be the transfer box, I got this stripped, and no problem found, although the clunking stopped when it was rebuilt, The car has been checked over and passed an mot with no problems found with suspension etc, the only thing noticed was that the rear diff felt a bit notchy, but I don't fancy getting it changed to find the problem is still there. The back end of the car also steps out when it judders. Anyway, time to put my other car back on the road :-(

judder? the rear end is supposed to step out and let the front tuck into the bends..

 

[caledonianewan]

The ayc light is on, doesn't that mean switched ayc is off? And it is a serious juddering,and only on right bends, when at speed it's like your going over a cattle grid, and on roundabouts it's constant and the whole car shudders with it.

"Doesn't that mean the ayc is switcher off" that was meant to say :blush:

didnt know your ayc wasnt working.

id get it up on a lift and give the suspension a look over.. bad topmount?(as in ready to fall off)

It was all Checked when the transfer box was stripped, and passed an mot about 200 miles ago! There really is nothing to see, only when you twist the rear driveshafts in opposite directions from under the car there is a bit of play, and it feels notchy. The oil was drained from the diff and it looked new with no metal shaving in it.

 

[caledonianewan]

I'm now convinced the judder is coming from the back, is it possible that there might be a bush somewhere in the back end that would only have play in it when the suspension was down under load?

no ayc would cause the car to step out bigtime and it might be causing the judder.get a second hand ayc or get yours repaired or might be an rs setup time

The rear arms are common with the rose joints, I had similar noise had them replaced sorted.

 

[caledonianewan]

I think I'll go under the car with a crowbar after my work

 

[caledonianewan]

there seems to be a lot of movement in the diff mount bushes. where can i buy these from? and is it a major job to change them?

 

[caledonianewan]

its the ones behind the diff that move a lot, one has a crack in it..
