Fitted suspension lift a month or so ago.
havent driven the truck that far until after this weekend, i have fitted winch and winch mount - now front end has settled more it was a bit high.
For first time i have taken the landcruiser on longer drivers and fast.
I have noticed a shimmy-vibration come on above 50mph
it is felt through body of car and accelerator pedal.
it only occurs when engine under load - e.g. hill climb or accelerating briskly to overtake.
the vibration eases noticeably if I lift off the accelerator
i suspect it could be a rear prop UJ (although these only had a little movement - the back one when i last checked)
since the angle of the prop will now be steeper following the lift
do these sysmptoms fit with a worn UJ?
