Hi Everyone,
I have a been a longtime follower of the forum and you have all helped me through the NAD's install, identifying pesky factory intercooler cracking being the cause of overboost issues and a whole raft of other mods....so thanks everyone for your posts!!
Now I'm going to apologise because I'm sure there has to be a thread on this topic but I'm not having any luck finding the answers.
I have a 2010 GUVII CRD Wagon around 35,000 I started getting the death wobbles around 70Km/h. Soon after (40,000) I installed a TJM suspension kit with 2" and the Foam Cell Shocks (rough as guts BTW) and steering dampener which didn't make any difference at all to the death wobble scenario. At about 45,000Km I put on a set of Mickey Thompson BAJA ATZ P3 (285/70 R17) which I love, but again no difference to the death wobble. Took it to a couple of local steering specialists with no luck or any idea of where to look next.
In the meantime I found that running high pressures 42psi has helped reduce it, but this isn't doing the tyres any justice and since pulling the pressure back to 36psi, its driving me insane!
I have started investigating the issue again and all i seem to get from the guys that supposedly know their stuff is:
1. Its your tyres....I don't believe this, it did it on the originals and the new ones without any noticeable change
2. Its a Patrol, they are renowned for it....I don't believe that all patrol owners drive around with this and accept it.
I have read a few posts about similar issues and shimming, but most people recommend against this.
So, to everyone out there, can anyone point me in the right direction to try and solve this problem?
