Passenger bearing is new (SKF) drivers is smooth hand checked.
Tires are in like new condition. Re-torqued all lugs. No change.
Something occurred to me; the head pipe just before the cat and after the flex had broken. I just attributed it to rust. It was nice and clean so I just brazed it up.
The upper torque rod is what stops the motor moving too much in a forward and backward plane so too much movement would stress the exhaust. The upper torque rod being loose is where this all started.
I'm thinking the rubbers holding the exhaust are softened allowing the vibrations (general and intermittent) I hear. The exhaust didn't feel much different from any other time.
On going.
thanks all and have a good Christmas, I'm going skiing.
