jimny wheel wobble help

<< < (2/5) > >>

jamesey:
just jacked it up again , both wheels off this time and ive got slight play when i rock it left to right , but everything rocks all steering arm ect , ive just noticed the front panard rod is bent aswell , (happy days) dont know what the play is tho

jamesey:
took it to the garage round us and he had a drive in it and nearly crashed with the wobbling it was like driving a clowns car with oval wheels it was that bad , but only when i go over a biggish pot hole at 35 to 40 mph , he checked everything like wheel alignment and camber , play in anything ect and he found nothing of the obvious , the only thing is ive got a very slight bend in my panhard rod but hardly anything .
if my king pin bearing is knackered what are the symptoms , there is no oil res on the innerhubs or any sort of play just what you would expect , im really stumped on this and ill have to resort in an expensive garage bill if the worst comes to worse.
ill try to do the work myself but if i get stuck the garage is always the last resort

minimog:
you wont find any oil in the c/v housing (unless the inner oil seal has gone) these only have grease in them that why most jap balls can go rusty and not afect it on a mot (not like landy which have to be smooth to keep the wiper seal working and keep the oil in)and if you have bent the panhard rod aswell i bet the steering link is bent aswell

jimny gary:
I forgot to say that if youve bent the panhard rod I wouldnt be driving it around, i bent my standard one once as theyre made of butter, and once theyre bent they just fold up the next time you touch anything with a wheel, like a kerb! the power steering can force so much pressure on it if you turn the wheel when tyre is touching a kerb it'll fold in two. for a cheap fix you could take it to an engineering shop, get them to straighten it out, and weld a length of angle iron along it.
