Outer Limits 4x4 Board

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 thought id add it only does it when im at really constant speed, and if a wack the wheel over and back sometimes it stops it.

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.

dead panhard bushes shake like shit when you brake - or they did on mine..

i dont get any vibs under braking or acceleration.
just small constant movement under constnat cruise.

wheel balance...? steering dampner?

Swap wheels front to rear.

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.

PS. Merry Christmas!

wow 3 posts, just joind the otherday. Got meslf a 11/92 GQ SWB 4.2 petrol/LPG ST. Had it for bout 6 months and before that a tough Lada that i will always have a soft spot for.

im not going to bother rotating the tyres, im just going to put a new set on it very shortly.

cheers

Panhard rods or wheel balance i ve got a 89 4.2 that did it and had a 95 2.8 that did it even more it was panhards both times also wheel balance on the 95 mod

gaz

yeh when i get the new rims and tyres ill get em balanced and get an allignment, but may wait till the 2 inch springs are in.
hopeing its not the bushes anywhere....
are they a pain to fit? do they need to be pressed?
