wheel wobble, still........

<< < (3/5) > >>

bullfrog:
Also worth having tracking checked

denviks:
i have the same problem. so far between myself and bullfrog these are the things that have been checked,

both props rebuilt
both swivels rebuilt with new bearings and seals
wheel balance checked , wheels revolved around the truck
wheels changed for borrowed set
rear wheel bearings changed
new shocks
tracking checked ( 6mm out )


im sure ive done more.

the next thing is to have a look at all the bushes on the truck. ive been at this for 8 months now, and it passes an mot with no problems......

so theres a few things to check anyway  :wink:

Thrasher:
Take a close look at your engine/gearbox mounts Den ;-)

Also try some normal road tyres - it shocks me the number of people who confuse the loose feel of muds on tarmac at 50-60mph with a problem.....

I have a set of perfectly balanced MT's on the RR at the moment and it has speeds that are "wobbly", but I know it is the tyres. Switch back to the road tyres and I guarantee smoothness again and actual handling too!

denviks:
cheers mate.will look at them next........ i can physicaly see my bonnet going up and down ....... its that bad  :shock:  :shock:  :shock: it kicks in at about 55mph. but its not all the time...comes and goes  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:

Thrasher:
The bonnet on the Discovery floats. They all do that. Mine popped up at 70mph on the M1/M6 junction. I had to cross 5 lanes to get to the hard shoulder and I couldn't see!!

3 days later I hat bonnet pins.
