Frogland Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I'm getting the death wobblies on the motorway when i'm driving at about 90 KM. It improves when I put my foot down and move up to about 110KM,it also dissappears when I drop right down to 70. It seems to worsen when I'm in a bend on the motorway.I think it started when I hit a pothole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discomikey Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 could be a wheel out of balance, it doesent cost too much to balance them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I first read it and was thinking 90mph, how does a defender get that fast I would look at the radius and trailing arm bushes first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puffernutter Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 If you can drive out of it (speeding up or slowing down) it's not "Death Wobble". Mine only used to stop when I stopped! You've still got that joy to experience I suggest that something is either bent or loose! Cheers Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dantd5 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Panhard rod bushings, Radius arm bushings, TREs, Drop arms. Could be one of these but start sorting them one by one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
