Does yours frighten you
muck_truck:
what about the hub pre-loads, have you checked to see if you have any play ?
new steering damper needed ?
Cassillis:
Do you have a steering wobble, as if the tyres aren't balanced properly, or does your motor wander, as if the steering wheel is not working?
My 90 developed a horrendous wobble at 40mph which died if you pushed through it but soon returned on breaking into hazards, made it bloody awful to drive.
I checked most things that the group had advised just as they are doing for you. I even changed the U/J in the steering column( this was knackered and needed changing anyway) put on a heavy duty steering damper, checked the pre-load on the swivels tyres balanced and toe in/out checked, ball joints replaced etc all to no avail :cry:
It turned out to be the after market poly bushes i had fitted to the panhard rod weren't up to the job. They didn't move during testing and gave no clue as to their movement :?
I have gone back to Land Rover metalastic bushes for this application and this cured the problem.
Range Rover Blues:
DO you get any steering kick back when you hit a pothole?
bombx3:
my toe out is 6mm out now just got to work out if it is the back bar or front bar to adjust? anyone no
jjsaul:
