I remember following this post but it became a bit confused between shimmy and vibration. It definitely feels like a diff issue on my car as it all has to do with load and steering angle. Which dealer did the diff replacement?

Be confused no longer!

1) Shimmy - this is related to the tyre/ wheel balance and the senstivity of the RRS Steering at low speed. It manifests itself as a steering wobble at higher speeds much like when wheels are out of balance. I had my steering rack replaced to get rid of this prob. It is a lot better since that was done.

2) Steering Vibrations - this was a "graunch" or mechanical feel through the steering wheel at the end of gear changes. Felt like something was worn out and being trasmitted through the driveline and steering column. This ended up being the front diff (believe it was a bearing issue that resulted in wearing on the spider gear). I had my torque converter, front hubs, prop shafts and diff replaced which got rid of the issue. I think in the end it was just the diff.....they had to go through a process of elimination.

MLR did the work. RRS TDV6 Bluetooth, VR, Roof

I definitely fall into category 2. Have you heard of anyone else with diff replacements or are you the first? I am wondering the best way to approach the Sydney dealers with this one... TDV6, MYO7 Java with Ivory leather, 19 inch wheels
