    Or he put the left hand side in the right and vice-versa........ but most definitely not having long arms
    Because the Geelong Freeway requires long arms ... I was actually thinking about whether the arms were in vice versa on the way home tonight from Matts place. Very strange to see all four fail.

    I got the bloody 80kph death wobbles in mine for the first time in four years. I really hope the wheels just need balancing as its really annoying and shakes quite violently. Panhard bushes are good, I know that, and the wheel bearings I have checked. Radius arm bushes are maybe 18months old....

    I've always wondered about this. New steering damper wouldn't help?

    Couple of weeks ago I had movement felt coming back thru steering whl @ 80kph and took the easy path first and had full whl balance now fine. From a glance every thing else seemed OK_all good.

    How violent can the all quoted "death wobbles" be noticed within reason (eg: bonnet/front panels start to gitter)?

    I think usually the driver should manage the wobble by increasing or reducing speed to minimise the effect.
    In me shit box GQ on the way from VHC I once tried to see what would happen if I kept the shakes going. Well besides all my insides nearly coming out my rear, I though all the panels and windows would give way...it was farked...bad, really bad

    'Death Wobbles' are an Harmonic Effect so if the outside factors remain constant they just get worse and worse

    If left unchecked IE you don't speed up or slow down to change the harmonics then they can be violent enough to shake the entire car quite severely, certainly enough to scare your pucker valve into slamming shut.

    I had a case of death wobbles on my Tray Back that were significantly more violent than the gnarliest corro's I have ever driven on.
    The vehicle was frightening at anything like a constant speed between 75 to 85 KPH but happy to sit below or above that speed

    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

    Yeah I am putting it down to crap quality rubber. All 4 are compressed and collapsed. The arms where in the right way and the thing was rear steering it's head off.

    The bushes where after market off eBay for $50 a set of 8. Damn it. Pushed out the uppers at the same time which had 320k factory bushes in. I have grabbed a set of OEM bushes from Roadrunner for $190 which where supposed to be here Friday but will arrive monday so will replace them all again. The original factory arms are back in it for a week of freeway.

    Those bushes had commuted down the freeway for 8 weeks!!!! No off-road at all. The only thing they copped was a heavy right foot by Naomi.

    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.

    I feel your pain, you just don't need the practice on stuff like this. What site did you purchase from so others can be wary? Happy for a PM on this if you prefer.
