Vibration
Eeyore:
Sounds like that front swivel will need looking at too. Doesn't create much rumble or vibration, but they can escalate quite rapidly. If it's the swivel bearings / railko bushes, they're not expensive to replace, but it's worth checking the swivel for pitting whilst your at it (which is the expensive bit to replace, sadly). Put aside a day for the job. It shouldn't take that long but why rush yourself.
Poor old Wolfie had to do 5 in a week earlier this year!
it might not solve the rumble, but it'll improve the feel of the steering!
Keep us posted as to progress / findings!
cheers

Nic,
It's the bearings. The swivels themselves are in perfect condition. All the bits are arriving today (apart from the seal which I forgot to order :evil: :evil: ). Hopefully will get the job done one day this week. Depends on the weather!!
Eeyore:
Oops, my mistake!
Should be an easier then! Weather dependent, like you say!
cheers

Nope :lol:
It wasn't panhard bushes either :evil:
Might be diff related I'm think now. The vibration is definately at the front. Did spot a power steering fluid leak while i was under there at the engine end. Hopefully, it's just worked loose. Going to wait for daylight.
