panhard bushes - how long do yours last?

<< < (2/2)

Range Rover Blues:
The bolt should pull up tight and pinch the centre tube tight, it doesn't matter if the bolt is loose in the tube, so it sounds like you have wear in the fitting.

BTW, if you have "death wobble" check the tracking, going toe-out will reduce it. I'm not convinced if increasing the castor angle helps though, I thought it would :undecided:

mark-d:
what do you mean by "death wobble" is it when the steering goes where it likes and its hard to keep it in a straight line?

Saffy:

--- End quote ---

the front wheels suddenly start oscillating left and right very rapidly out of control (maybe after hitting a pot hole in road to start it off, sometime not), the steering wheel is trying to doing the same, only hope is to reduce power until it stops - hopefully it happens on a straight piece of road. I heard some say they have powered out of it - but those some must have balls of steel. Death wobble is a spectacular thing to witness when it happen to the landrover in front of you.... you think their wheel(s) are coming off.
