NSF Camber

Range Rover Blues:
CXamber is not adjustable and should be zero at straight ahead (there is some dynamic camber) so it sounds like you have damaged one of the swivle pins, really loose wheel bearings or parked in a hole.

Hadn't thought of the swivels :oops: could be that :idea:

Litch:
If the top bush is shot then that could do it couldn't it?

You haven't recently replaced the swivels have you? I only ask as it is possible to put the top bush in the wrong way round which will cause this problem.

Range Rover Blues:
I could well be wrong here but isn't the top bush on the Defender a Railko style?

If so then by far the wekaest link is the bottom pin and as that hoods a taper roller bearing then it would still work if the pin was bent, though not very well and not for very long.

Otherwise it could be badly worn bearings, but you would see movement if you rocked the car side to side/drove it/jacked it up.

Mark_Solesbury:
Just looked at the top roller bearing...

Took the top 2 bolts out that hold the pin in... Pin is straight, but the bearing is [!Expletive Deleted!]!

It does not sit in the swivel nicely at all. Just put it all back together again with the old parts, and you can see the wheel pulling in at the top as you do it up....

And another thing.... it got 'One Shot Grease' all over it, but there aint any in the swivels.. Just thick [!Expletive Deleted!] grey coloured stinky EP90......

Ill be ordering some OSG when i get my new parts :)

At least im at the bottom of it.
