Yes, poor old Truckus in the wars at the moment.
At least perhaps, a positive that the things I am learning about his issues various, may hold solutions for others having similar issues. Our current one is a doozy though!

I had the wobbles pretty bad and uneven tyre wear (outer edges). All mechanicals were fine ... had Tru Track in Bunbury W.A. throw in an offset bearing and it runs straight and true no matter what the tyres are like ..

Thanks @timbo2410 . TBH I don't know much about offset bearings but did a bit of a search and found this post by @MudRunnerTD : http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...Bearings/page2
Interesting. I had new bearings replaced just under 2 years ago and made no difference to the wobbles.
I've also read the offset bearings may wear diff seals prematurely though?
Darren, your post is 8.5 years old now. How has the offset bearing stood the test of time? Any seal issues? I might be interested in looking closer at an offset LH bearing.

It did a great job mate. Interestingly this weekend I am stripping the front of the GU. Last time I did it was about 3 years ago I think and at that time i pulled the offset out but only did so because the upper offset race had collapsed. I didn't know this until I went to remove it and it was half missing. The thin wall had crumbled but had done A Lot of work.

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.

Rotate your tyres ans put the scallops to the back ans they will flatten out then rotate back to the front.

Yeah they were badly scalloped at the rear of the tread blocks prior to rotation. Don't understand how this happens but after rotation all scallops are at the front of the blocks.

Do you still recommend an offset bearing now you've been there done that? You went back to standard bearing because why?

I went back soley because I pulled it apart one day to repack the bearing and found the collapsed race and it was a daily. I needed to fix it immediately and paid too dollar for a kit from Repco to get Ilit back on the road by the Monday.
I was absolutely happy with the offset bearings.
