well - I've had my GUVIII for just over 3 weeks. Only 70k on the clock.
Tonight i have had a visit from the wobbles - between 75 and 100kmh
Settles over 100km
But my car has been parked at the airport for a few days, and when i returned and left the carpark i had to stop and check because i though my wheel nuts were loose it was shaking that much - settled a bit after 30 mins driving, but still there, just not as bad.
I had a quick check when i got home.
Don't seem to have play in the bearings, everything underneath seems ok.
Steering damper seems to work fine
So would any of you suggest a balance and alignment, or straight to removing the shims?
I'm keen to try the "free" fix options i can do myself first, but perhaps i should get the balance and alignment checked before i start doing shims and bearings?
Had no issue until a few days ago, so unless its thrown a weight of the Tyre i cant see it being a balance issue, but i feel as if the steering has too much play in it.
A friend of mine has some Malasian tyres fitted to his dual cab extended Patrol,
if he parks for a few days his tyres go flat on the bottom and rattle the beegeesus out of the patrol
till they go "round" again, just a thought
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
