Wheel wobble #2 HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<< < (4/6) > >>

wizard:
I tryed a different set of tyres with no change.
I run it today without the front prop - no change.

I did notice that if the road is smooth it is ok but hit a small lump/hole then it shakes like hell, but saying that i flew over a "traffic calming hump" and it was fine , no shaking.

I have't tryed bleeding the power steering, thats tomorrows job.

chuggaman:
interesting and annoying problem.with the setup i have (4"lift at front i have no major problems at all with 33"tyres on.............

however when i put 36"tyres on i have a serious front wobble when turning right on a roundabout or winding road..

almost like bump steer but with no bump..

the steering wheel violently reverberates left and right...

i still have that round weight attached to the front axle and have been meaning to remove it...

now i can erradicate a ashock absorber for this as i have twin shocks..

are tour front turrets secured correctly??

That really sounds like your swivel pin preload isn't correct. I know you've tried adding and removing shims but did you get it to the correct preload?
And have you checked that the swivel pin bearings are still intacked, you may have had one collapse!  :?

wizard:
I replaced the swivel bearings but didnt use a spring balence to set the preload.
The turrets are new but it was shaking befoe i changed them
I will get the wheel alignment done this week and see if that helps.

ChrisW:
When I replaced the steering damper on mine everything was fine until I hit a cat's eye on the motorway - got an almighty wobble which only went after slowing down a bit.
I checked the damper and tightened the nuts up on each end and haven't had a repeat since.
Did you prime the damper fully before you fitted it too?
