Apparently new tie rods and steering damper did the trick. Thanks a lot.

Same radius arms were on the defender also, and it drove well. Also, I do have lift kit installed. And I can't feel any play on the wheels.... I will try to fit steering damper today, in addition to changing tie rods as they seem worn out.

Hi, panhard bushes are new. In fact, all bushes have been replaced. I'm not sure how much castor are radius arms correcting, I think 3 degrees, but will measure it today just to be on a sure side.

Hi, my name is Mike. I’m from Slovenia. I have been driving Landrovers for most of my adult life. I currently own Discovery 300 tdi auto. It developed weird problem after axle transplant.... So here it is. I fitted front and rear axles from a defender 90. Partially because mine were leaking diff oil everywhere, but mostly because the defender ones were fitted with ARB airlocks, HD halfshafts, 4.11 gears (or even higher, my speedo is now showing 60mph when I’m actually doing about 40) and castor corrected radius arms. The axles were fitted to a car as it would be to a defender, meaning no antiroll bars or steering damper... I’ve also fitted front double cardan propshaft, rear 200tdi propshaft, and +2inch terrafirma springs and shocks. Here’s my problem. When I’m doing certain speed on a road, car develops serius vibration. I shouldn’t really call it vibration, because it feels like the front of my car actually jumps from left to right. The vibration actually snapped my alternator cables off! I dont think this happens at the same speed every time, but it does happen when I go faster than 50mph. The car is undrivable and dangerous. I did a run without front propshaft, and a run without the rear propshaft to see if any of the propshafts could cause this. No difference whatsoever. I also did the tyre rotation/rebalansing. Also nothing. Could a lack of antiroll bars caused this? The defeder the axles were fitted to before drove well. Anyone ever experienced anything like this? What could have caused this?
