HELP NEEDED URGENTLY , Wheel wobble,

(1/3) > >>

Jimbrown:
Discovery 200 tdi had new swivels fitted over the last year new track rod and front link bar panard rod bushes done. was fine up till about a month ago has since developed a severe wobble through the steering even in a straight line itting the slightest hole in the road can set it off the only thing that stops it is braking, it is happening at less and less speeds now and today saw me parking it up till I can get it done. As this is my only mode of transport this is inconvenient to say the least.

Question is after all the bits I have done what is likely to be causing this it is now so bad it almost rips the steering wheel out your hands. I have lifted the wheels off the floor and there doesn't appear to be any play in them

Can anyone help and throw any light as to what the cause could be please.

I would just like to thank all people who replied and really confirmed what I originally thought I think that 5lb on one side and 9lb on the other is probably a litte slack it wasn't a job Iwas looking forward to but it is almost done now.

The bit that eludes me now is my workshop manual, I seem to recall the preload should be between 12 + 14LB resistance each side could anyone confirm this or give the proper weights.

electricbluebadger:
Double check your panhard rod for play/loose bolts, sounds very much like it is loose or has some play.

Budgie:
If it's set off by hitting a pot hole then it'll either be wheel bearings or swivel pin preload that needs adjusting.
If you've not checked any of these since you fitted the swivels then they've probably bedded in now and need a slight tweak to take out the slack.
Failing that then get the tracking checked.

Range Rover Blues:
Been throug a similar problem myself.

From what you have done already, steering damper, wheel dampers, tracking, play in the PAS box, panhard rod loose, failed balljoint.

Possibly wheelbearings, outside chance of a front prop or CV bearing going (sympathetic vibration).
