GQ SWB small wheel vibration.

Post by Screwy »

Stock as GQ SWB 89 TB42.

driving down the road when at constant speed 60km, 80 kms, 100 kms etc. gets worse as i go faster.
The wheel does a slight back and forth vib of about 1cm side to side when cruising.

doesnt do anything under decelleration / braking nor under acceleration.

did a search and looked in bible but couldnt find anything.

any ideas??

cheers

just enough to be annoying really...

Sounds like a bush type problem.
Panhard, radius arms or TRE maybe.
Panhard bushes factory are good, try here for P/N

Radius arm bushes, 80series ones fit. I just got some good 2nd hand ones out of an 80 that was getting csator bushes.

TRE- no idea.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY....

Bazzle the rear tyres are about 40 percent but the fronts are near balled....
ive got a new set of tyres at my mates place that i have to pick up so will just chuck the new tyres on.

im going to be doing a 2 inch spring lift in it shortly..... Is the wobble going to get worse?
is there anything i can do to stop this?

drag link ends are rooted.

Whilst on firm ground get a mate to push your front tyres left and right and inspect the drag link ends.

Mine were rooted and was corrected when i turned steering left and right.

Put adjustable ones on with HD ends - no more problems

I'm with him, it won't cost you anything just to give it ago. Especially if the tyres are bald like you said. Probably hasn't had a balace in ages.
