car shakes at 90ish KMPH

[DX grunt]

Hi All,
...... was driving along one day and it was like somebody just flicked a switch, and bingo it started shaking.

Exactly what happened to me!! I couldn't understand how all these trucks were shaking, then whammo, it hit mine. lol - not

Mine's a 2005 GU DX ute - Ex Telstra job with the pod on the back. I still think the road surface has a bit to do with it.

i had it bad before too. got 33's freshly balanced all sweet. it doesnt take much to shift a weight, keep em balanced.

my muddies have a wobble under braking which is due to the nubs of the tyres gripping similar effect as front wheel drive torque steer

I'm going through the same dramas at the moment.

Mine seemed to appear out of the blue.

I'm in the process of replacing the bushes in the front, and while I'm at it, replacing the 4 front ones in the radius arms with castor bushes to counter the affect of the 2" lift. Also did the rear steering bar (drag link??).

What other bushes should be replaced?

[Bulbous]

Not the Drag Link, that's the long one at the front - connected to the damper

Thanks Bulbous.

What's the one behind the diff called?

That 'un is the Tie Rod

[BigRAWesty]

Panhard rod is chassis to axial (sideways). Drag rod is from steering box and tie rod connects your wheels.
Radius arms are the chassis to axials along the chassis.
All have bushes which flog out and cause shimmis. But then you also have wheel bearings, swivel hub bearings, tyres, steering box which all can contribute to the shakes..
Start with the cheapest and work threw it.
