Hi Chris,
No shafts unfortunately but could one of them even be loose? Both the rear
wheel nuts on the Beauford turned out to be loose when it went for its MOT
and there was no direct indication. Not something I had touched during the
build.
If you have not done this already then it is probably worth jacking each
side up in turn and checking the run-out on the rim whilst turning the
wheel. No doubt this was the first thing you tried but at least we are
thinking of you! I have had this problem on an earlier car and despite what
all the tyre people told me it did turn out to be a mildly bent shaft - it
was one hell of a pot hole that caused the problem. Seem to remember that
one build of Festa had balance weights on the drive shafts. Anyone remember
the details or do we wait for Mr Herne to return to our midst?

Subject: [Quantum Owners] Wanted XR2 drive shafts and hubs
Has anyone got any usable XR2 driveshafts and front hubs I can buy?
I have a bad vibration between 50 and 70mph. I've changed the brake discs,
tyres, & wheels and they have been balanced many times. So time for more
drastic measures.

Chris Fairlie

Also DCNFs fit better in the XR2/Quantum engine bay. the DCOEs end up very
or hard against the subframe at the bulkhead.

Very interested in the dcnf carbs.
Out of interest what's the difference betwixt them and the dcoe?
Thought it was side vs top draft? Do both types fit a 2+2? (with 2,0
cvh conversion ongoing)(slowly - hopefully unlike the final result!)
