--- Quote from: "Garth" ---I have the same problem mainly going round slight left hand bends at speeds over 50 mph.
I have so far:- adjusted the preload on the swivel bearings "twice"!!. First time using a spring balance as per manual and the next by using "mechanics hand" (ie till the housing starts to bind then adding thinnest shim) as per advice from local Off road supplier/garage.
Took off steering damper (looks like a small shock absorber and is definatedly behind the front diff as prevoiusly posted dont know if yours should have one though)  and checked it seemed to be OK.
Fitted polybushes
Adjusted steering box
Swapped wheels around
and finally last weekend fitted new shock absorbers as mine were leaking.
And guess what

Its still no better :x  :(  :evil:

i had exactly the same problem with mine. turned out i'd lost a couple of wheel weights. get your wheels balanced its suprising how far they can go out of balance

Garth:
Got 2 new (well secondhand) tyres fitted and balanced and made no difference.

Got apprentice (12 year old daughter) to turn steering wheel approx  a third of a turn back and forth whilst I checked all the joints for play etc. and found that where the steering column comes through the bulkhead the first UJ had play. But on closer inspection the UJ appears OK it is the column that has the play approx 2mm. Is this normal I cannot see any bearings in the manual/CD that support the steering column.
Also the rubber coupling is pushed back towards the bulkhead IE looks under stress to me

--- Quote from: "clairedave" ---there is no damper fitted should there be one on a 3.9efi 1993 model as cannot see any where for it to bolt to. have fitted bigger tyres but was same on old rims, all bushs are ok and no play in panard rod, :?:

Big tyres do make it worse but the steering damper being missing, oh crikey.  It bolts to a bracket under the diff and a bracket on the rear track-rod ie behind the axle.

clairedave:
going to buy new damper as it is missing !!!!! :shock:  :but fitting still there

clairedave:
