Das, die und der.
That was really quite good Björn. I enjoyed that.

On the subject of vibrations my front alignment checked out okay, front
passenger side out a bit but no change in the vibration. Went to ABR in
Victoria for this. Picked up a grease gun and needle attachment enroute
to Port Hardy and got the grease under the front CV boots. Still no
change. Will try the rears in Prince Rupert. This has been a long ferry
ride, 22 hours, a milk run. Actually 21 hrs, the tide is running with us
and should be docking soon.
I haven't tried David's idea about the rear skid plate, but tire
pressures are fine and wheels are balanced. Its an odd vibration at 85
to 90 kph, smooths out after this. Its also off and on. I can drive for
an hour at that speed, very smooth, apply a bit of load and the
vibrations start up. Cruise and its fine. I'm hoping its not a tranny
problem. I feel it in the rear and then it is felt in the steering
wheel. Sometimes independently and other times together. Can't hear a
whine, but then again these Yoko's create a fair bit of road noise.
Unfortunately I am not in a position to take the CV's off for
inspection. Hope it holds together over the next 1500 km.
