Hi all,
I am new to the forum and I just got a E36 316i auto.
my e36 316i auto has a bad vibration(bad enough for the interior to shake) coming from the rear of the car above 70kph, and it is speed related, it eases off when let off the gas, and get worse when accelerating or going uphill. Downshift to 3rd does not change the vibration. The car also jerks hard when shifting from N to D or to R.
Since the vibration is speed and on/off throttle related, I suspect the vibration is caused by the driveline behind the transmission. The Tyres have been balanced, there is no crack on the flex disc, and when I turn the drive shaft by hand, there is no obvious play in the U-Joints, and there is no dent or bent on the rear CV shaft, the bushing on the rear control arm seems to be Ok, and the car drives straight and handles well when cornered hard.
What could be the problem?
Thanks
