if its not your wheels out of balance could be the panhard rod bushes, replace the bolt while your there, it gets fairly chewed out.

Hi Mongrelrover,

i have 35" Simex Extremes Centerpede on a Range Rover and none shakes.

Balancing the tyres and checking all bushes and the drive shaft should fix the prob.


Greetings
Chris

Yep, check your preload and also your steering dampener. Also, have a look at your wheel bearings...they might need tightening.

9 times out of 10 its the panhard bushes, they cost sweet f a so start there, if you get the super pro poly bush ones $28 a set, you don't need a press to install them, you can do it in a vice but you need a hand doing it.
