Shakey Patrol

[the_barto]

Just took a 93 gq for a test run and the front end shakes a bit not bad that it rips the steering wheel but bad enough that you feel the front shake and the steering wheel vibrates.

Any ideas as to what this may be?
Any ideas at how much this would cost to fix by a 4x4 shop?

go get ur wheels re balanced that can be the problems sometimes it happend to mine till i got it done but if u have bigger than 33s go to a truck place as normal car places wont always balance them properly

they are just the standard patrol wheels on board

Check all your suspension bushes and wheel bearings, replace if needed, get a wheel alignment and tire balance.

If that doesn't fix it then check king pins and adjust by removing top and bottom spacers

seeet as will do thanks for the help very appreciated.

the first thing i would check (am i speaking from personal experience after spending heaps on tyre change and front end bits and pieces)
i would check the chassis where your steering box bolts up!
after nearly rebuilding the whole damn front end n new tyres we found that the chassis where the steering box bolts on had a crack which was hard to see but was very much so there!

good luck!

I was surprised how much a wheel balance will help. Car was shaking all over the joint at 100km/h, had a wheel balance and now its good as gold.
But yeah have a look at all the basic obvious things first and go through a process of elimination
