GOOD NEWS. . . . The PICTURE UPLOAD FUNCTION IS WORKING !!! The tech folks at the parent company have been able to remedy the issue. You can upload pictures once again. Thank you for your patience.
I have a 5.7 Volvo penta that is making some racket when the out drive is turned. It sounds like a loud vibration or loose bearing rattle when it is turned left/right. Its doing it even in neutral. Any ideas what this could be?
When you post we need more info??
What year, model?
Probably the u-joints.
The older stuff didn't have a gimbal but a flex plate with bearings on a drive shaft
The gimbal bearing would probably make noise without turning.
sounds like same issue I am having. mine makes noise in drive and nuetral and worse turning. like stated above mine is older with a flexplate and driveshaft with u-joints. I am suspecting u-joints. out drive is a 290 dp from 1986
tore mine down tonight. found rear prop shaft bearing destroyed. of course mine has a front and rear which means I'll be pulling the motor to replace.mine is an aq290a model from 1986 or so
