jimny wheel wobble help

(1/5) > >>

jamesey:
hi ill stat from the beginning , i went off roading last week and went down a track that made the jimny bottom out , after doing 80miles around the lanes and then driving home upto 60mph all was ok , then i discovered my valve was knacked on the rims i had , so i gave the tyre to my mate who put me a new valve on , he didnt balance the wheel after he did it.
then tuesday last week i went to the cinima in the jeep and i got an almighty wheel wobble when i go over bumps and potholes in the road and its that fierce i have to stop the car for it to stop .
now after this i checked the radius arms and found that id bent the drivers side , now ive replaced that today and just been for a drive and the damm thing is still doing it, ive checked for play in the front wheels and there is very little play at all , do you think it because the wheel wasnt ballanced when my mate did the valve???
if i cant find out what it is im going to scrap the jimny :x

SteveW:
I had was getting a terrible wobble with mine at one point and balancing the wheels pretty much sorted it. Also I was told one of the rims was slightly buckled which wasn't helping.

jamesey:
ive put the rears on the front and guess what its still the same , ££££££ time i think

jimny gary:
Have you got a steering damper fitted?

Mine moved or came loose once, took me ages to work out where the wobble was from

minimog:
you might of bent the axel (if you have hit something hard enough to bend the radius arm ) as you said it starts when you hit a bump it could be the caster is out of wack have you lifted it or got any play in the steering links /panhard rod
after a serious bump like that you should have the steering checked for alignment afterwards
