Hi i have front end wobble and we are in the process of trying to fix it we think the problem is the Panhard rod bushes, the return to center steering dampener, and the swivel hub bearings. We are pretty sure that we are replacing the right parts if so could you please let me know or tell what the problem could be ?. Much appreciated thanks
Also check your wheel bearings
what tyres are on it ATM
mate you are on the right track, sometimes you end up doing the lot as it only takes a minute amount of movement to make it wobble.
I have a front end wobble too but the doc says it'll go if I lose some weight :( :( :) Sorry it had to be said :)
To check if its the wheel or swivel A(king) bearings.
Jack the front up - one side at a time.
Grab the tyre at 12 & 6 o'clock - push backwards & forwards - if there is any movement - most likely swivel bearings
Grab the tyre at 3 & 9 o'clock - push backwards & forwards - if there is any movement - most likely wheel bearings
Personally if either is loose - I would replace the lot - I just done mine - paid around $200 for a complete kit for both sides off evil bay (including a hub tool) - bursons wanted $400. Plus 3 tubs of grease.
Check your tyre balance and radius arm bushes.
Humm, If wheel bearings have play in em, wont they move in any direction, not just 3 & 9 o'clock.Quote:

I have the supa pro bushes in now and it drives like new.
before spending money whip off the front wheels and check if there is any caked on mud in the dish could possibly be as simple as that
