    So start with panhard rods. I'd do front and rear.
    If you know a mate with a press they are doable yourself. You may need a big ass socket arm to undo the nuts though.

    See how that goes.
    If you still notice wobbles then do rod ends on toe rod and steering rod.
    Tie rod ends are screw in and out. Easy.
    My drag / steering rod had fixed ends.
    So upgrade time to adjustable.

    I'm now running no dampener and am shake free for close to 12months now.
    Cheers

    Thanks Kallen.
    By the way, I found a youtube flick (from Aus) suggesting that the wobbles are cured by removing the shims top and bottom from the swivel bearings. Anyone know about this?

    If you've had the bearings done then no. They shouldn't be the issue if done properly.
    If not then yes they can be removed to check.
    They set bearing preload so once you need to remove them the bearings should be replaced.

    You mentioned swivel hub bearings done, did they check wheel bearings?
    These are quite simple to nip up. Sortable like trailer wheel bearings.
