URGENT HELP NEEDED with GQ front end wobble
Posted: Tue Oct 31, 2006 9:29 pm
Ok here goes...
First off i tried the search option and it either went to a page that was no longer there or it didnt really answer my question.
About the car...
SWB GQ, 6" coils, 5degree caster plates and Haultech Slotted bushes
I just installed some Haultech slotted bushes into the front of my GQ shorty. Before i put them in i had a little bit of steering wheel shake, but it was nothing really. After putting them in the 'shake' was undrivable.
It voilently wobbles from side to side, as soon as i hit 60kms. I have to stop the car to stop the wobble.
So far ive replaced the rotors, pads and overhauled the calipers (only cos it needed doing anyway). Packed the hub with new bearings and seals. Next im doing the panhard bushes and getting a wheel balance and alignment.
I have an adjustable draglink on its way also
WHAT ELSE CAN I CHECK???
Ill be replacing the tierod ends also.
Can the shims under the swivel hub cap/bearings cause any problems?
Please help ASAP!
Cheers
