I'm out of ideas. My mechanic is out of ideas.
My 406 HDi has, since about 380 000 km, had a shaking which seemingly comes from the rear end.
The shaking starts quite mildly at a little over 50 km/h and becomes really pronounced at about 70 km/h. It goes away (completely) at about 75 km/h.
Suspected was the trailing arm bushes and so these have been replaced. Also replaced were the rear suspension link bars. On the front, all subframe mounts have been replaced. The right hand side engine mounts have been replaced - separate story.
The car has had new tyres and wheels and has also had a front wheel alignment. The rear tyres aren't wearing in a manner which indicates that the rear needs aligning. (I'm not even sure if they can be aligned.)
After all this, the shaking still remains, but the car feels really tight, and the mechanic says that he's been under the car and pushed, prodded and shaken everything that he can and there isn't any movement.
If you have any (sensible!) ideas as to what could be causing this shaking, I'd love to hear from you
Cheers,
Andrew
