Vibrations when going at over 70 mph : (
#11
Yep i'd be more inclined to suspect bushes or steering components and sadly i'm having similar issues with vibration over 90kph, immediately suspected the center bearing support which although was starting to tear wasn't the source of the vibes. I have a full set of front and rear bushes and a TRW track rod kit so that will be my task for the weekend.
I fitted a new center bearing anyway while i was under there.

I had a torque converter going bad in my 2007 Ford F150 (old 4-speed, not the 6R80 similar to the 6HP26 in our LR3's). Above 70 mph when coming out of lockup, it would feel like you just ran over a rumble strip. Fresh fluid made it go away for about 20k miles, then it lost 3rd and 4th one day. Full rebuild including a torque converter and never had a rumble strip noise again.
Your mechanic may not be crazy, and fluid may actually keep wolves away... for a while.

We have had the car since 23,000 miles it is now 214k we have transmission fluids changed .Last batch from Atlantic British and the first time I ordered fluid from auto shop in area making a point to get the correct stuff.
Could the Control arms be at fault..or center front bushings.They have done water line replacement and we go over this miserable road every day for like a year it may have damaged front end ? I'm going to have him keep car and check suspension parts. How much is a transmission rebuild in this car would you know ?

Please tell us if this solves issue.Im going to have him check front end components.And put the anti shutter fluid in if he finds no front end flaw. We did the front bearings Timkin maybe year and a half two years ago but this terrible road we take home may have ruined something

Check all the usual areas, tyres, etc. But I once developed a vibration at speed but only sporadically. Felt like a misfiring engine. Developed to a clang while driving. Suspected center prop shaft bearing going, or gone, but it was rear prop shaft CV binding at the rear diff at certain point of rotation. Replaced the prop shaft and all is good.

Bushes,bearing and track rod/tierod on the RH side are tight so need to have a better look at the left side.
