Will need some more info, like lift, suspension setup, panhards, radius arms what sort, tyres and rims balanced? ETC

A patrol with a shake? I'm sure i've seen this covered before...

Try doing a search

But it will be things like wheel balance, wheel bearings, any of your suspension bushes, loose body lift bolts.

I was getting 3 or so weeks out of genuine panhard rod bush's until they would flog out. And then my truck would start to wobble real bad. Here's what the boy's at Buds Customs did for me just last night.

I'm sure i've seen this as an answer before..... :?



I'm sure i've seen the following as a response before.....

a steering dampner will just mask the problem. if at all...

9 times out of 10 it will be your panhard bushes. replace only with genuine rubber ones.

wheel bearings, king pins, tie rod ends, wheel balance and wheel alignment will also play a part.

as mentioned it's been covered many times before.

If the panhard bushes are good, everything else is within spec and the castor is right, then it shouldn't need a steering dampner at all.

An early post of yours says 5in lift. What castor correction are you running?

If it's only under power at certain speeds then check uni joints. If it's only since the 35s went on then rotate the tyres front to back and try again.

I've had exactly the same thing, some research and a visit to action 4x4 warragul told me you'll need to put in a set of adjustable pan hard rods, as the original ones will keep destroying bushes when its been raised/big tyres.
