Warthog Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Coming back from a wkends off-roading and the 90 has picked up a problem. Upon acceleration the truck pulls to the left and de-acceleration pulls to the right? Checked all shocks, springs and control arm mounts on the axle's and chassis. steering linkages and tyre pressures all O.K. Driving home my thoughts were maybe a wheel bearing? Duff polybushes in the radius arms maybe? However the problem has not been gradual, i have picked this up over the weekends abuse Any advice mucho appreciated Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicks90 Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 my money is on a bush being knack'd rear wheel steer due to a worn radius arm bush when coming off the loud pedal is quite disconcerting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boothy Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Check the A frame for security to the rear axle casing, you may have torn the bracket or damaged to ball joint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrHT Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I'll bet 50p on the rear radius arm bushes. Who's running the book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warthog Posted September 8, 2008 Author Share Posted September 8, 2008 No locker fitted Rear trailing arm bushes are stock and new. All the bracketry for trailing arms and radius arms O.K (However i will clean and inspect again) The radius arm bushes are polybush and been in for a year (mostly off-road use) i will check them and see from there. Cheers for the response Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

white90 Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 When I had the same thing the front radius arm bush drivers side was missing Interesting drive home from Wales green laning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roguevogue Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Did you use new Nyloc nuts when you fitted the chassis end radius arm bushes, if no then thats what I suspect is the problem, they have a habit of working loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zim Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 i'd put money on your tracking being slightly out (also, check all the ball joints, but i think you said you have already) maybe you've bent your steering track bar just a little bit. Edit : forgot to say, i'll see your 50p and raise it to £1 G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgasmic Farmer Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 My money ius also on play at the chassis end of the radius arms or trailing arms. Either a loose nut or a worn bush. I just had to retighten my nuts on the front by about 5 full turns (reused nylocks!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warthog Posted September 9, 2008 Author Share Posted September 9, 2008 I'd put money on the trailing arm bushes. Well, i have found the problem. Johnny Joint circlip had popped out. Error on my behalf i believe Circlip not seated correctly after routine maintenance on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
