hi, I bought Pajero 2005 V6 5doors. I have lots of vibration issues. My machanic told me to change shaft rear and front but no use, same issue.

Changed all wheels, lots of other things but invain.

Hey! Mitsubishi what you doing???

Any solution, thanks in advance.

hi there…I have a 1998 Pajero RH drive..the vibration started 2 years ago and has been there since…when increasing speed from 40 to 50 KMPH a vibration emits from what seems to be the front area of the transmission and then sends a slight shudder around the dreivers area and in the steering wheel….when this happens I take my foot off the accelerator for a split second to let the vehicle slow up just a little and then I reaccelerate, the vibration then goes away…I have had new tyres fitted and had the wheels balanced…had the Mitsubishi dealer examine but they had no idea of whats causing it without having to strip the transmission out… however the vibration is still there…has anyone found a solution to this widespread problem ?…thanks for any info you might have …

Pl Help: I want to sell my dream car,

I own a Pajero 3.0 LWB. bought it new, I stay in Doha Qatar from the beginning I have the same problems:

a) body vibration on uneven or bumpy roads: Earthquake inside the cabin with dashboard vibrating differently, all this vibrating can be felt on your body. Will changing the shocks to a different brand shocks make a difference.
However if the car is loaded with weights it is a better ride, but with the driver alone, only seat beat can glue you to the seat if on uneven roads.
b) The outside noise inside the cabin is more in a Pajero.
I love my car, but these are the things that irritate. If anyone has a solution Pl email me.

Hi guys,

I’m glad I’ve found this site. I’m from Dubai and I’ve got a 2008 SWB Pajero 3.0. I’ve been feeling the vibration since I purchased the car as brand new.

Long story short, two tyres changed, balanced, aligned, recently frontal suspensions, shock absorbers and whatnot changed but 2 weeks after every service the vibration gets stronger, steering gap gets bigger and eventually the suspension gets loose again. It gets pretty rough at the end the tyre bounces on speedbumps and metallic noise comes from the steering shaft on an uneven road.

They say “it’s the characteristic of the car”. Hmm, well.

Anybody found a solution for this?

Thanks very much,
Peter

Hi guys.
Pajero Vibration
2007 new shape SWB Pajero. Bought second hand 50,000k’s July 2009. First long journey felt steering and body vibration starting around 95k’s through to 150plus.
Short story. 3 new sets Yokahama tyres each balanced and re-balanced several times. New prop shafts(front and rear) Removed engine damper. Changed shock absorbers. Total 24 days in dealer workshops. Reccommended change tyre brand. fitted set Michillen tyres. Vibration reduced to an acceptable level at all speeds. 3 months later returning from a long trip felt the vibration starting to come back. Checked tyre pressure found to be sightly low at 27 psi. Inflated to 32 psi vibration greatly reduced. I have also found that the more wait I carry the less the felt vibration.
I believe the fault could be related to prop shaft to front axle operating angle being very slightly miss aligned. The output drive of the transfer box should be exactly parellel to that of the front axle, if not it can cause the propshaft to vibrate. I think that is why you can feel the vibration on the steering wheel and in the body. as the propshaft is attached to the axle and the Transfer box that is mounted to the chassis mid ships,

I’ve had this same issue with my 2007 petrol Pajero (LPG fitted by dealer). The dealer has had the car back at least 6 times over the last 18 months with no resolution in sight.

No solution (Sorry) more an expression of frustration. With my issue there is no quick to get rid of the light except when the delaer resets them.
