Violent Front Wheel Shake between 38 - 50 mph

<< < (5/5)

adrian:
swivel bearings just changed mine. top one fell apart ok now

Cassillis:
Do you have a polybush type kit fitted?
The reason i ask is i bushed mine with one of the lesser costing kits :roll:  and found the bushes on the panhard road were not up to the job. They appeared OK on inspection but didnt perform under load giving the exact same symptoms. I went back to metalastic bushes and it's fine now

Range Rover Blues:

--- Quote from: "Re-Discovery" ---Apart from the C&U Regs, I know of no reason why they should be illegal as they are alot safer than normal wheels as you are unlikely to lose a tyre in the event of a puncture at speed!?!?!? :shock:

I would have thought that contraveneing the construction and use regulations should be sufficient, you only need to break one law to be illegal (and uninsured) after all.  The C&U regs are fairly comprehensive, the clue is in the name.

Re-Discovery:
I have just replaced the front Radius Arm to chassis bushes (with Polybush Oranges) as they had gone and were allowing forward and backwards movement of the axel?!?!

Took it for a spin on Saturday and it didn’t appear to be doing it anymore, but when I took it for a spin yesterday it seemed to be doing it again!?!?! :cry:

I can definitely say that on gentle acceleration it doesn’t appear to be doing it (or be that noticeable), but under heavy acceleration it really does get a shake on!?!?! :?

I can assure everyone from speaking to several people who work in the tyre industry that it is not wheel balancing (due to the speed at which it comes in, being so slow, between 35-50mph) so please don’t post that. :roll:

This week I will be swapping the front wheels with the back to see if one of my new front wheels are buckled somehow?!?!?!

There is no play in any of my propshaft UJs!?!?!

I am quickly running out of options on what it could be, please feel free to post any sensible suggestions?!?!?! :roll:

Thank you in advance.
