gooday fella's I've got a flat tray GQ which has a calbah 5link installed and its just developed a shimy when you hit a bump. I've checked a few things like wheel balance and alignment caster is 3 degrees wheel bearings are good, your input would be much appreciated.

panhard bar

higher it goes.. more wobbles u get due to panhard bar long longer being effective.

a drop bracket for panhard perhaps??

u dont mention how much lift

mine was fine up to 4-5inch
above that it was crap

but yeah , just go with new panhard bushes and alike to tighten everythin back up

but otherwise , those front ends r known for it

drop the panhard. it fixed my gq wizard 5 link 7 inch.
drop it till it lined up with the drag link, than re allign the panhards lateral position. make sure winch / bullbar is on as this affects it too, before aligning the new position.
i tried EVERYTHING first. only this works. don't look for alternatives fix the panhard first.
cheers bru
