My 02 Land Rover Freelander shakes when I accelerate. It is definately coming from the front.

I took the rear drive shaft off to aleviate the possibility of the shaking coming form the rear.

Check the universal joint, or the CV-joint, if this is OK, check for wheel balance

SOURCE: connect four wheel drive for a freelander land rover 2005

The Freelander, along with all Land Rovers are permanently in 4 wheel drive: You need to take the car to a workshop to see what is happening. Freelanders have big problems with the transfer box, this maybe the problem. When you reverse the car and put the car steering to full lock whilst reversing, do you feel that the car is blocking or binding, as though you have the brakes on. If so this is an indication that the transfer box is faulty. These boxes cannot be repaired, replacement only and are quite expensive.
Hope this helps

Hydraulic lifters? I have been racking my brains for this one. Lifters will sometimes pump up when cold and then lose pressure as they get worked. Would explain why your camshaft died. Suggest you look at old camshaft, see the cams that were worn and replace those lifters. Only thing I can come up with!

how did the cam shaft failed? is there a spark on the plugs for the cylinders than are not firing? did you have a timing belt failour? if so you may have damage valves or pistons, do a compression test on the engine to know condition of cylinders

Creaking noise at backend of landrover freelander 2003 model

Check the exhaust mounts on the rear silencer box 1st. Give the rear box a gentle shake. if this seems ok, the check the bushes on the rear suspension bars and mounts these look like long rods coming from the axle to the chasis. then take the rear wheels off look at the rear springs and mounts.

Landrover Freelander Serengeti Diesel 2.0 2003

Sounds like the wheel balance is out on the new tyres, if the rears are out of balance expect the car to shake, if the fronts are out expect the steering to shake.
Best thing is to take it back and have the balance checked. Also good idea to stay with the same make and type of tyres all round.

Chris
