First question:
Driving home last night I noticed that the car started vibrating from underneath - thought I was driving over some bad pavement or those pesky white thick lines they love to paint on the roads here in sweden to make you slow down. Nothing. Next thought was that I had something bad going on with one of the tires but I noticed the vibrations go away when car was neither accelerating nor slowing down.
I then thought bad U-joint, or something bad with the driveshaft, but weird is that the frequency of the sound goes down when driving slower and picks up in frequency when going faster.
Any ideas? going to lift the car later tonight and check for play in the driveshaft or if I can see any apparent things with the joints.
Second question:
Car will not hold in Park. When I put it in park it can roll - just like another neutral so I was thinking parking pawl. But it might be a linkage thing as well because the car won't start in park - only in neutral and it's hard to move the shifter down to 1 - feels like the linkage is off half a click. Any ideas?
Third question:
My rear is always locked. If I raise the car and turn one wheel, the other turns the opposite direction which it's supposed to do (right?) but as soon as the car is on the ground - its always locked which really makes the turn radius bad and is crappy when backing up. Are there any adjustments one can do or do I need to tear down the diff and take it from there?
Other than that - I never look back at my SRT8 any more...Love the car. Big cheers from Sweden
