Budgie:
You are quite correct Tim, however, the one I have IS a Genuine Land Rover product, Part Number LHP2 and I even have proof of purchase........... somewhere.  :wink:

Garth:
Hi Jonny

Let me know how you get on as I had/have same problem.  Stripped swivels adjusted swivel bearings, deflex bushes (orange) fitted, steering damper took off and checked, steering box adjusted. I think thats all, however the shake went away after all that but have done 3000M since and its starting to come back (and I have re-torqued all suspension bolts).

There are so many possible answers I have found you just have to work through them cheepest first.  

Try to avoid changing steering damper (unless it is obviously NG) as a new one can "mask" the real problem.

Jonny Boaterboy:

Thanks for you note Garth I will carry on working through the list I havent checked a few things on the there but its not too bad at the moment so will live with it untill I have a bit more spear time and money

Did you re-check the swivel pre=load? it's possible that if you didn't get the bearings seated properly they have now moved and your pre-load is gone.

Garth:
No I have't checked since I did them as I was very carefull to get it right first time BUT its worth a check.
As everything is built up its impossible to tourque one of the bolts but I am sure I have seen a drawing of a "special tool" somewhere with dimensions on it that fits over the bolt head and has an offet square to locate torque wrench onto.  I have had a look tonight but canot re-find it .
Does any one have it to hand so I can make my own tool
