Stearing Problems

Post by MARKx4 »

In my soa MK Patrol i get a severe wobble side to side when i hit a bump and have to stop. Once i stop it drives normal again till i hit the next bump. Please Help. By the way i jacked the front end up and had no excessive movement side to side or from top to bottom, its got me beat :armsup: :x :armsup:
Its not cool, unless it's got boost :)

My mate had similar in a large lifted GU (99 model). Ended up getting a new panhard and new castor busheds and that resolved. I would suggest checking all bushes etc and tie rod ends too...

Replacing a panhard would be ok if i had one. I think i will replace the tie rod ends and send it off to get the camber re adjusted. If anyone else had this problem please tell us what you had done to fix the problem.

I realised they were different, but the idea of my post was to say check all the bushes and anywhere with movement. Even if you cant move it by hand, there is a lot more pressure on these parts when under load.

with bush movement, try laying under the fron ot the rig, and get some one to puch it from side to side, and see if there is any movement, also, place you hands on the wheel, spring pack, tie rids, evrything, suspenstion and steering wise, and if you fewel a clunk, thets the problem area
