problem with navara

haranscaffoldn

hi people, iv a 02 nissan navara, its just passed a doe but theres a noise comin fron it when i hit 55mph, someone said it could be a crank shaft but wouldnt that cause a noise all the time, at first i thought it was air vibrating on the back canopy but it seems to be comin from underneath, any ideas ????

did you have a service done prior to the DOE. Perhaps the plastic undertray isn't properly secured and is now flapping in the wind. Might only occur when the force of the air is strong enough.

If there's body vibration (instead of steering vibration) you could have lost a balancing weight on one of the back wheels.

Or there may be a wobble in the torque tube (prop shaft) thats only apparent at higher speeds.

yes there was a full service at the time of the doe,
there isnt really any steering vibration just body,
ya ill get it balanced and see if that helps, if its the torque tube is it much of a problem?
