    Question A rapid 2 second shudder

    Whilst driving on the Hway I get a shudder through the steering like I have gone over the edge lines on the Hway the ones that make a noise. I last for 1/2 seconds the goes for random intervals only to do the same again?

    does it always happen at the same speed? every time I get a wobble at 90kph I know I've got bushes wearing out. for me its usually the top panhard bush.

    No the speed when it happens is varied, and yes it is an auto. I did notice that when towing the Lwb Patrol home the MAverick struggled up hill.

    I would be thinking along the same lines as Scottie hence why I originally asked if it was the Mav or GQ, I just assumed the SWB Mav was manual, sorry I should of asked if it was auto or manual to start with.
