Get your radius arm bushes checked. These are the most common culprit. Also rotate your tyres.

Iam not sure which ones it was because i took to a suspention joint and they fix it ( L&S suspention NT ) if your in the NT they would have to be the best poeple to use.
My patrol had a vibration at 80km and was ok at 100-110 km. I just balanced the front wheels today and it fixed the problem. Also check for a crook tyre bubble or out of round tyre. You will have to jack up the patrol and free spin the wheel to check it spinning evenly. Even nowdays I still see good brand tyres with faults. It may not neccessarily be a serious problem with radius arm bushes. Also pressure wash out any mud that may be stuck around the inside of the rims throwing out the balance.
How old are your tyres?
We tried lots of things and in the end it was a set of tyres 80% worn that were giving the problem. Changed them over and it was good as new
Can also be loose or worn wheel or king bearings.
jack front of car up.
For king bearings (swival) hold the tyre at 6 & 12 and push back wards and forwards - any moement? -
For wheel bearings hold the tyre at 3 & 9 and pucsh backswards and forards any movement - comapre it to the otther side.
today i grabbed front wheel while car was still on ground and pushed back and fourth and could hear clunking, so is that normal, King bearing, or wheel bearing?
That sounds like wheel bearing maybe
yeah sounds like a wheel bearing or a king pin i wouldnt drive it dont want that to snap or come off !!!!!!!!!!!
i work at bob jane as a wheel aligner/ assistant manager and we have the road force balancer works a treat i do mine every 5 tho
My brand new car did that.....it is like it just sits in a floating cup, which seems a little odd to me.Quote:
