Here's an issue that I'm having trouble figuring out. Regards to my '66 130; Car has a m-41 in it.

The car seems to shake and "surge" a tiny bit when ever it's moving. At first I thought this might be a fuel/engine issue, but the car acts exactly the same when it's coasting in neutral with no load on the engine at all.

The rear suspension has all been replaced with new parts with in the last couple of months (Bushings and shocks), front needs a bit of work but it's mostly okay.

Any ideas?

Thanks as always.

    I'm with George based on your initial description, but if you could be more specific, it would help....

    Is it speed dependent? Does it matter if it's in neutral and coasting or in gear, clutch in and out? Does it get better or worse under accelleration and/or braking, or when going around a corner (right or left)

    Can you get any idea of where it's coming from (corner, under)

    I have a hunch if you can answer those questions, you'll have identified the culprit before you can reply here...

    Do find it.. could be a safety issue. Could be a wheel about to fall off.

    Bent wheel?
    Knot on a tire?

      Bolts on rear suspension not tightened with the car back on the ground after overhaul? i.e tighten bolts only after it's back on the ground.
      Bad UJ picking up now and again?
      Maybe the 2 halves of the prop shaft itself aren't lined up properly?
