    Sorry, missed that bit.
    How are the rear bushes? As mentioned your car is being pushed so any movement from the rear will cause issues.

    Another thing and it sounds crazy but have you tried different Tyre places?
    Diffrent places, different techniques and some have reported of vast differences with mechanics in the same town..

    It can be a pain mate. Hang in there, we'll get ya rolling straight..
    If you can maybe worth going over all bolts yourself as New things take time to seat and sometimes will shrink or move.

    Did you have issues before fitting adjustable panhard rods?.

    i had a very similar issue i changed bearings bushes and the steering rods but still couldn't find it lots of wheel balancing from various shops still no good and it only happned randomly around 70-90ks mainly after the new tyres but was their a little before i had it to a few mechanics couldn't find a fault the tyre shop blamed the car in the end i give up untill recently when i swaped the front and rear wheels over and it's pretty much gone back to the way it used to be before i put the tyres on. they were yoki at-s

    Thanks it had no issues for years then it started wobbling so I started off buying adj front and rear panhards and drag link also rtc damper but it still did it so then had all swivel and wheel bearings replaced I have tried tightning all bolts to no avail someone told me the rtc toughdog damper is not for a 4inch lift and I needed the bigger version???? Also does the rtc exaggerate the wheel wobble??? Also my rig has spent time sitting on and of with flat tyres could this ruin the tyres?? The wobble doesn't always happen but when it does the car is uncontrollable it shakes so violently

    Flat spots wouldn't be helping for sure.
    Are you running 40psi??

    Have you changed drag Rod ends??
    With the bigger offset if could be exaggerating a small amount of slop.

    What speeds are the wobbles starting?

    Lift shouldn't a dampener. It still travels the same.
    An RTC dampener do help with the wobbles, as I mentioned they mask issues.
    Most like adjustable dampeners over rtc's as the rtc make steering heavy..

    Tbh, I'd start looking at the rear to.
    You have done panhard rods, (how many k's ago??) so move onto the upper and lower arms.
    Use genuine rubber.
    If you haven't got modded arms yet now may be the time to grab adjustable uppers, or longer lower arms.

    I had the 80-100km/h wobbles and tried all the usual things. In the end I went to a truck alignment place (Queanbeyan truck align) and they fitted an "offset knuckle bearing castor correction kit" (or something like that) fixed it. 10,000 km on and it is still good.

    The swivel hub bearing is offset shifting the hub only. I dont think they are needed, castor can be corrected.

    Did the tyre shop tell you what castor you are actually running?

    I had a similar issue once, for me it ended up being the lock nut for the front adjustable panhard. Tightened her right up and all good.
