Guy110 Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I'm getting a vibration though the steering wheel between about 50 mph and 65 mph. Any ideas what it might be? Thanks, Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Guy Obvious ones to check: Panhard rod bushes UJ's Steering damper operation Less obvious but equally as effective at giving wobbles: front radius arm bushes ( axle end ) Silly lift kit just fitted! Tyre condition Balance weight fallen off wheel Any of the steering ball joints David LLAMA 4x4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyre condition Balance weight fallen off wheel Any of the steering ball joints David LLAMA 4x4 Thanks for all of this. Having had a check round, i've come to the conclusion it is the wheels out of balance. the vibration is very distinctly though the wheels. Had all the problems listed above over the years and it does feel diffrent to them. Thanks, Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LR90 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Well having spent ages tracking down sterring props on the Disco that as it happened were caused by a duff tyre and now on the 90 having a floor shaking vibration (felt like prop and I knew the diff pinion was duff but changing diff didn't fix it) also going away when I swapped tyres I'd strongly suggest you swap some tyres round first. for the time it takes it is well worth the effort (only wish I'd tried this myself!).

Diff Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I'm getting a vibration though the steering wheel between about 50 mph and 65 mph. Any ideas what it might be? Thanks, Guy Hi Guy, Vibration that is specific to a certain speed 'band' is most likely to be wheels out of balance. The out of balance could be due to tyre deformation, buckled wheel, mud stuck to the rim, or lost balance weights. Regards, Diff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwhitton Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Reply to an old forum, but still relevant. What is the usual life span of a steering damper? Know they are cheap, but want to know if mine is worth replacing (dont 100k miles)? Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
