I hate the shoit!.... lol
As for my Patrol this is what i did to remove the wobbles which i had a bugger of a time. Tighten my wheel bearings. Whilst the wheels felt good on the stands only just the slightest of movement. So i nipped them up and all has been great since.

Hi All
Its been a little while since I started this thread and nice to see everyone being so helpful and providing some good suggestions and ideas.
Well I am very sad to say that alot has been done with no result.
My discovery was that i put it in to have the shims taken out just to try it and Blow me over with a feather--There wasn't any. At some stage they had been removed so obviously having no shims didn't help my problem. I have since had the king Pin bearings replaced and new shims put in top and bottom. Also every bush etc replaced and everything checked from top to bottom.
After i had the last lot of work it was fine for about a week, with only a slight vibration but now it has come back; maybe not quite so bad but its back.
Apart from tearing my hair out and buying a can of petrol I don't know what else to try.
Am thinking I might go to a steering specialist -- just worth a shot as everything else i have tried has had little or no success. Thinking of contacting Nissan and making it known I am not happy jan and have alot of patrol owners with the same issue. I know they know of it but it can't hurt to raise the isssue again.

What tyres are you running, might be time to look at maybe running some
balancing beads inside the tyre. I'm not a fan but others may be able to help
This probably has been checked but this solved my wobble issues for good. Even when running 35s.
where the inner wheel bearing sits on the stub axle it had worn away at the section where the seal runs by maybe .5mm. Kinda hard to explain... i have my old stub axles if you want a pic.
But i had the wobbles pretty bad. If first changed one side, not due to the wobbles but because the wheel bearings would work lose. I would nip them up, then i would check the wheels say a few weeks later and it was lose. I noticed the wear groove so i replaced this side. I did the other side maybe six months later as it was also worn. And ever since. I havent had to retighten the wheel bearings and the wobbles have gone.
Might help, might not.

I had the same wobble at around 80 to 90kms when I bought the gu a few months ago and thru research on this forum systematically started looking at things to change but thought I would start with springs and shocks as originals were sagging and guess what wobbles are gone but one thing I did notice when taking wheels off to do Spring change was a lot of mud road grime on inside of rims in deep on standard steel 16in rims so I broke out the gerni and cleaned them up so all the gunk was gone
Hey something easy to check and it worked for me
Get out and get it dirty
Hi
had all springs and shocks done. All bushes, panhards etc, new steering damper, new tyres fitted and balanced, wheel alignment, all bearings and everything checked and double checked. As for dirt and mud my GU has never been off road or on the beach. Its certainly original. I have standard rims and tyres also. no big chunkies or lifts.
