She's still wobbling
Hi ppl I've read heaps on this forum about patrol wobbles I have recently redone all front end bearings swivel,wheel bearings,seals etc also put brand new tough dog panhard new adjustable drag link new rtc steering dampner new tie rods for the track rod and it still has the wobbles,no where near as bad but it happens around 60-80kmh and sometimes it's worse than other times very frustrated ATM I have noticed there's no balance weights on hrs front wheel could this be the problem?help would be appreciated cheers

It can be a problem yes. Get a good balance, it should make a world of difference, its what causes my wobbles

Yep it won't take much to put a tyre out of balance, sometimes just mud or sand stuck on the inside of a rim will do it, or a thrown weight.

And to be a pain sometimes the wobbles come from worn bushes in the rear..

You can adjust the 'slop' in the steering box, if it has any.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

Make sure you get them balanced by someone that does a lot of 4WD tyres. Some tyre retailers do not have a balance machine that is optimal for wide and heavy 4WD tyres. They are great for normal passenger car tyres but do not balance 4WD tyres properly.
