Wobbly steering defender 90

(1/1)

Cassillis:
Recently changed all the suspension on my 1996 defender and polybushed it whilst i was at it. Now the steering has developed a rather noticeable wobble at 40-45 it will cease when pushed through this speed. Is it because

               A) i have been a clumsy git and managed to knock all the balance weights off the wheels or
               B) is it more likely to be the steering damper :?:

Budgie:
It could be one of many things and only showing now because the suspension has been done.

Steering damper is one to look at but also check:

Track rod ball joints
Tyre balance
Tyre pressures
Wheel bearings
Swivel housing pre-load
Steering box backlash  :wink:

Cassillis:
Cheers Budgie i will get the overalls on tomorrow :wink:

Xtremeteam:
