Homer Posted February 12 Author Share Posted February 12 The Supra now has an MOT!! 1) Rear wheel bearings have been replaced. It seems the garage that had the car before had removed the dust covers from these and never replaced them. I missed this when we changed the driveshafts but even if it was caught the bearings would have already been rusted. 2) 2nd upper rear suspension arm has been replaced 3) rear brake calliper has been repaired However, even with this there is still a bad vibration above 30mph. It’s speed related and the mechanic thinks either it’s a driveshaft or prop issue. He’s going to get it on the ramp this week (hopefully) and see what he can find. The driveshafts are my only suspect point as they were bought from the internet. They looked fine but aside from that who knows… 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Excellent news that it now has an MOT, annoying about the vibration. Hopefully it's something relatively straight forward to repair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rider Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I had a RR that would develop a vibration between 30mph and 55mph, above or below that range there was no vibration. It turned out to be a sticky brake calliper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
