Steering Shake.

[Mrs Ronnieh]

Hi again
My mechanic has had a few patrols and he has never had this problem at all. His current one has 3 inch lift and heaps of mods and nothing. he is stumped.

Was just asked what tyres i am running- Kumho Road Venture 265-75-16's brand new. 40psi.

Ahhh ok, so they're not 33" muddies then. Larger tyres can sometimes be harder to balance correctly..... Im winderibg if thats the case with yours, or if the tyres are slightly out round.

Mine also suffered from really bad wobble recently, but mine was just really badly worn nolathane panhard bushes, which I replaced on the weekend with genuine rubber.... no more wobble at all.

Hi
My GU is stock standard with no modifications whatsoever. i wanted one that way. had panhard bushes replaced and a few other things so will wait and see what matty does tomorrow. Fingers crossed whatever he does fixes it. Our gQ has 33's 3 inch lift and few changes and no wobbles at all. Its hard to figure why some do it and some don't.

Couple of things , did you have the wheel bearings checked for movement?
40 psi around town may be a bit firm, 40 psi more suited to HWY work,
take them down to say 35 front and 38 rear , you'll feel the difference straight away

Hi
Wheel bearings and everything underneath have been checked with nothing found. Panhards bushes both replaced, new steering damper, wheel alignment,new tyres. I spend more time on hwy than around town so thought 40psi would be fine.

Funny thing is you can cruise over 110 and its like being in a normal car. Only shakes between 98 and 105 k's. Weird.

Hi
I will let you know what it is tomorrow hopefully. I have an idea it is not Spacers but something more toward the steering adjustment and wheel balance/alignment.

You guys will just have to wait and see. I just have this feeling my shake is more to do with the steering (box) and what i just mentioned. We will see.

King pin spacers arent a cause vibration/wheel wobble though, removing them may help it though. But what issues can it cause by removing them

I removed mine just out of curiosity a while back. I could barely turn the stub axle after refitting the bearings. So back in the shims went. I didnt measure the thickness of the shims though. As there is different thickness shims available. ..
