Because the Geelong Freeway requires long arms :D... 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.Quote:

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

I think usually the driver should manage the wobble by increasing or reducing speed to minimise the effect.Quote:

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
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.Quote:

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.
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.Quote:

Comes down to form fit and function.

Nah I tighten the at ride weight. The left side had fully collapsed and that made the rear diff out of alignment. It would drive ok but had a really twitchy ass. Was thinking it might have been my front end actually as I didn't expect those bushes to be wrecked. Like my caster mysteriously went to shit.Quote:

Did not see that!!! I probably did see that when I bought them and figured they would be ok. Will see if I get a response from them via eBay for sure!Quote:

Well after a lot of piss farting around I finally found out that the oil feed line to my turbo in my block is 1/8 bspt.
Realising that how much stuff the thieves who broke into my garage actually took!
Now I've got to start over again on building my tool collection.
Selectively buy and love whole heartedly a dog mate!
The littler and yappier the betterer, no need for a bull, just tune into their tones and a ballpeen in your jocks should scare any mongrel off :-)

I would love a dog, but unfortunately, I work long shifts and I feel bad leaving it alone for that long (Around 16hrs a day I'm out of the house)
If it wasn't for my shifts I would have a few already!
That’s a fair call Jim mate, good bloke [emoji106][emoji106]

Those extinction rebellion protesters get under my skin.🤬🤬🤬🤬 Why can't they see that holding up traffic is only making more emissions from all the cars sitting there running. 😡
And, trying to force your ideologies onto every1 else is not the way to make people aware!! Get a job and stop making the general publics lives difficult! Your only making them hate you, and your cause more!
Rant over
Well said and I have worries about the climateQuote:

Some drongo's vandalised the 'Dog sitting on the Tucker Box' at Gundagai - simply just wrong, and pointless.
I don't get people, why would you do something so senseless?

Dealing with Toll as my couriers.
My item was sent from Melbourne to Sydney in one day, but its been at least three days to get the 20km to my house. Moreover, they're unable to provide us with an estimate of what day it will get here.
I swear, whenever I deal with a delivery company that's not Australia Post I have constant issues, instead of AP where issues are relatively low.
Your profile says Penrith, So I guessing you live on the rich side of the river in Pentirh, everything takes a few extra days 2 arrive when it comes 2 crossing that river :(Quote:

I wouldn't mind so much, but they've changed the delivery date on use multiple times now.
I'm getting it delivered to my parents in the Mountains though as couriers tend to struggle with my place.
Only my nuffy self to blame!
Bought us an Optima Blue some 18months ago for the old 1970’s Jayco family comfort needs with extra auxiliary threads to suit a quick rushed hack departure.
Haven’t used the old pop top in at least 6 months now and found last trip forgot to disconnect for parasitic load storage :-(

7.5V tonight nuffy found, hoping like all gettup she’ll come back to life :-(

Flogged an auxiliary Optima Yellow top down to 10.5v in the frosty mountains with an elecy blanket via 240v ute inverter years ago, still running strong , this I aint too sure :-(

Strike me lucky. Rugged up yesterday, psyched myself up and prepared to get cold to go out and wash the Patrol.
That idea lasted 45 seconds, it was OK on the side sheltered from the wind, but the other side, I may as well have been running around naked at the South Pole, fiercely cold.
