Can someone tell me what it costs to replace a crankshaft Dampner on a Volvo D13. Or how to test if yours is bad . 2010Volvo 780. Shudders and vibration , the faster you go the more intense. I have rebuilt drieveshaft. Replaced carrier bearing, new steer tires and rims. Tested drive axles, raised off ground. Pulled axles out, spun drive axle tires , at high speeds. Front drive axle showed wobble left right. Was told tires were the problem, replaced tires . No change. 3 axle Alignment has been done. Any thoughts or suggestions.

First it sounds like you want to throw more parts at this problem.
Have you rev'd the engine while parked? If the vibration was the motor it wouldn't be speed dependent. Just RPM dependent. Also at what speed is the problem more noticeable. Is this a 10speed or Ishift?Snailexpress, KB3MMX and AModelCat Thank this. -

Check leveling valve, ride height, driveline angles, u bolts.
It's a long shot, but cheap. I had similar symptoms. I was into this #### vibration for over 10k. Turned out it was the u bolts I neglected. Which wore the pins off the saddles, which wore out some u joints, power divider, steady bearing etc. Expensive lesson, and I'm not too proud to admit it either. Nor should the driveline shop I was at a few different times, who are great at fixing "symptoms." But we know better now!Last edited: Mar 26, 2020

Hit each on the top with a hammer. They should all "ting" and youll be able to tell if anything's loose by the sound it makes compared to the others
Those bolts are tight as hell and hand tools will not cut it. They are often seized and need to be heated up with a torch and hit with a big impact gun. If you heat them up to tighten, they will need to be replaced soon after.
It's not so much that they back off over time, but they stretch. So they will be tight as can be but not hold their "bite" on the axle for long86scotty Thanks this. -
