Bump Steer

Post by JJ42 »

I have a GQ with a 4" lift 35s and seem it has seemed to have developed a bit of a bump steer problem that wasnt there when it was first lifted. Is there an ajustment to the seering box ( possible tigtning the steering ). Any suggestions??

king pin bearings, panhard bushes, best position for steer damper is steer arm to panhard, if your damper goes to your chassis move it to the panhard and it will feel much better

I too have this problem so will be looking at replacing all bushes in the not too distant future to see if this rectifies the problem.

Any other ideas too??? Just in case.
When in doubt..... UTE-ERIZE it!!!

Are the swivel Hub Bearings hard to replace?

not hard just time consuming, it requires the housing be stripped right down also.

Best bet is buy a swivel hub kit from hobbzee http://stores.ebay.com.au/The4wdshop_Ni ... idZ2QQtZkm Its a good price and will have the bearings you need in it.

If your goin to strip the hubs might aswell rekit all the seals. The only bearings and seals not in it are the wheel bearings and seal.
