What did you buy today

Finished off my wiring for the two Redarc gauges. Cuppa, if your reading this, all sorted mate. Mental note to self. RTFM! Twice.
Also cleaned up a little ready to ship the troll off to the workshop tomorrow.

Today I bought new kingpin spacers for the front end as well as a new drive-shaft for the passenger side (driver's side for you Aussies). One of the previous owners apparently removed the kingpin spacers for some weird reason and he also never checked his front driveshaft bearings. it was completely dry - no grease in it whatsoever so it was partially seized up and destroyed from lack of lubrication.

One of many things I'm now finding out about the vehicle. No big deal. At least I know what I have now and that things are done right.

i think you will find that there are some people who remove those spacers to stop the front wheel wobble which is common but dont check the preload on the bearings and what it does is put too much pressure on the bearing and it shits itself like your have. good luck with it mate sounds like you will get it sorted.

I remember reading about doing that, but that just serves as a quick fix and doesn't address the root problem. From my understanding, the real solution was to replace the kingpin bearings? I'll have to try to dig up that thread or find where I read that. Is there something else I should do to prevent the death wobble?

Nice Rod. Definitely gonna be different. not sure on the snorkel myself yet. I like the 4inch pipe setup but after reading a few peoples thoughts, if you have the pax window open, its quite noisy....
