Vibration Free

I have just spent a very good half day with Steve and his team at Vibration Free near Bicester. It is a company who specialises in balancing anything that rotates from car related up to helicopter parts.

I have had a problem with my motorhome ever since I built it with a vibration through the drive train. The dealers said it was the propshaft as they had fitted another temporarily and it was cured, so a new prop was made, expensive as it was three pieces and it was better but still bad enough to make driving a chore. There followed several more attempts to sort it out and it got gradually worse

It took Steve 3 hours to sort it out balancing it on the van and now it drives better than it has ever done. He explained in detail what he was doing step by step until he had each part balanced singly and together. I wonder just how much money I spent that was not really needed in the past.

If anyone needs and engine balancing or indeed anything I could not recommend them more highly. There is also a few good projects to look at that Steve owns and races in historic races all over Europe.

I am not connected in anyway just very happy, hope this post is okay

I'll second that vote for VF. Had them balance an Alfa V6 engine for me a few years back - smooth as a smooth thing. At the time, Steve had a similar engine in his boat, which was interesting.

I've used Vibration Free for an engine bottom end balance, it ran very smoothly and would certainly use him again when needed.

The price was around the same as others at the time.
