Dinkydave:
Wheels balanced properly?

Chris Putt:
Ball joints on the end of the steering arms?

zepesh:
Hi Guys
Many thanks for replies,shall check uj's and anti roll bar links tommorrow(leaking down here).
Had the balancing checked and ball joints are new.
Have noticed that even though the shocks and springs are standard seems to higher than other 110's Iv'e seen.Do you think springs and tyres would have upset the castor angles?
Thanks again
Frank

zulublue:
Have you looked at the A-Frame bushes? and the A-Frame ball joint?

I had this recently when the Landy went in the grooves the trucks make it was sliding around, a-frame bushes sorted it out.

as for the Steering UJ's I have just changed mine about 4 hours ago as the steering was not responding very well and was sloppy, the bottom UJ was shot, its a lot better now, you could also test your Steering damper, take one end off and see if it pushes out.

Saffy:
Checked tyre pressures? Too low will cause wander.

Support front end and get someone to swing on steering wheel while you observe, wriggle and fiddle with steering giblets. But if adjusting the steeringbox made some difference then maybe that is where the problem is.
