Lorrick Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Hi Folks I have a terrible wheel shimmy on the old girl , I thought I had found the reason as the Landy had been in to a garage and when it came out the Steering Shock absorber was loose ? thought whoopee , tightened it up and it is still the same , I have had the wheels re balanced, I am running General T2's on it, I have swapped n/s to o/s, I have raised and lowered the pressures, absolutely nothing different, it is a bout 50 to 60 mph and you can feel it building up. Any Ideas Besides using it for making Cocktails Cheers Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off Road Toad Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Swivel pin bearing/s either gone or worn or preloads wrong is the most likely culprit so long as wheel balance has been done properly and your bushes are all ok.

Lorrick Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 Are they much of a job to do, I am a mechanic and use the vechle all the time so it would have to come off the road for a day I assume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landroversforever Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 My front end shimmy was down to shagged radius arm (axle end) bushes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
