Fatboy Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Hi, The Rangie has had the typical steering wobbles for a while.. I've been renewing all sorts to try and make it more stable! The air suspension was a real pain and leaking springs seemed to mean she was getting up to all sorts and sometimes struggled to get up from "cruise" setting - A real pain in the neck on the fast but winding roads around here. Anyway, a couple of months ago I ripped the air suspension off and fitted OME springs and Disco isolators and that feels a lot better. It became a lot more secure but still danced a bit over bumps. So, I checked the swivel preload and that was fine, renewed the track rod ends and indeed one was tight and the other past its best. I swapped tyres around and put the best on the back then bought two new ones for the front - Same type as before. CURED The old tyres were worn but not ilegal but the improvement is amazing... and actually embarassing as it has taken so long to get to what is maybe the most obvious solution. Thinking back, I'd put the rear tyres on the front when I did the springs and wonder if they had been worn into a particular profile at the higher pressure I run on the back when I tow the trailer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
