still have my shake

Hi everybody i know this thred has been around for a while but i still have this bl...y shake in my GQ steering at 90klm to 110klm hour befor 90 and after 110 its fine. This is what ive done after reading the MYBE,S on this site. new swivel hub bearings new wheel bearings off set camber bushes. panhard bush. tie rod ends. steering dampner. rims tyres lost count of wheel balance,s. wheel aliment.
and fr shocks so what i figger its all new in the frontend. so plz anybody got other ideas to wat it could be ive now running out of $$$ its already hard on a pension. And i asked the owner befor me has it been in a prang and he said NO so iam at a END IDEAS PLZ :(:(:(

hmmmm you have seemed to cover just about everything. I'm not that familiar with death wobbles in a patrol but coming from owning a jeep I know all about them.
In my experience with death wobbles it has been between 60-80km/h - my drama was an ovaled out hole onto the panhard mount on the chassis end. The joint was fine but because the bolt hole was ovaled it caused the panhard to move a fraction. Beside that I can think of wheel bearings, drag link, steering box, tie rods etc.
How sure are you that its from the front? I had loose wheel nuts one day and it snapped a stud causing the back left to wobble slightly......

good luck with the problem :(

its a common problem which apparently has a whole pile of different solutions.

in my case, the death wobbles were fixed on the mav with a full bush kit

it seems to be more frequent on vehicles that are lifted beyond 2" and where no caster compensation has been done.

also fixed by going to a truck wheel aligner who knew far more about my suspension than the nissan mechanics

why i think its from the front is that the steering wheel wobbles at the above speed i would not think that would happen if its was the rear but you never know a also i put in a steering box but that also was a waste of $. Iam not sure of a lift in her if their is it only a 2'thats y i also put in the 2deg caster bush kit

What about radius arm rubbers where they mount to the body

all new ones

i'd also get your wheels "on vehicle" balanced - truck aligners do this and IMO do a far better job of it than your avg Jane or Jax type shop.

a rebalance and alignment when I rotated my wheels fixed a small wobble on the shorty.

as before, different inherent problem on both vehicles I own, but both had death wobbles.

Do you feel the wobble through the steering wheel (knocking left and right) or is it just the car?

Have you tried removing the shims.
Seriously someone needs to do a complete guide to this wobble fix using all of the combined info available.
I might have a go at it lol.

Does it have an adjustable panhard? I had mine do it a couple of times when the vehicle flexs it can undo the adjustable panhard it can still feel tight but has enough play in it do this just nip it back up nice and tight
