HELP NEEDED URGENTLY , Wheel wobble,

<< < (3/3)

Jimbrown:
Checked swivel preloads they were miles out but now set correctly but still have a violent wobble it steers straight most of the time but sometimes for no reason other than hitting a small pothole wheel bearings will be the next item on replacement list along with discs but tbh the bearings dont deem to have any play any way, tried panard rod that is solid only changed the bushes a few months ago but checked to be sure they werent duff. if the bearings dont cure it any ideas where to look at next am also thinking of going up to poly bushes when and if they need replacing could bushes on radius arms be a contributing factor to this vibration ????

greasemonkey:
HI
silly question time
have you had the wheels balanced
as a thrown weight can cause this
especially as braking stops the wobbles
cheers

Budgie:
Do the wheel bearings, just check for tightness now and make sure there is plenty of grease in there, rather than replacing good bearings.  :wink: Check the trackrod ends, if they have any up/down movement or sticky spots on rotation then replace them.
Also check that the steering damper is straight and moves with the same pressure though out the full length of it's travel. If not then get a new one.

With the engine off, check the amount you can move the steering wheel from left to right before the wheels start to move. You should have an inch to two inches of movement (measure from the top centre of the steering wheel) either side of centre.
If you have more then try tightening the steering box a little.

There, that's your work for this weekend sorted. :lol:
