Yeah I know, this topic has been covered in 1000000 other posts, ive read em all, dont worry. But heres my problem.
Have a 06 alloy tray back 4.2, leaf rear, had 80km front end shakes since ive owned it in one form or another.
Had a normal wheel balance and alignment, slight improvement for short time, no real change.
Had a 'force varience test' on all wheels where they match the tyres to the rims, slight change for short time, no real improvement.
Had an 'on car' balance, slight improvement, then after a day or two, back to shakes.
Tried spoke balancers and cone balancers.
Tossed original steering damper and replaced with new RTC, that seemed to make the shakes the worse they have ever been!
Finally got a set of 4x different wheels tyres to try, didnt change the shakes, so not the wheels!
Took out the swivel hub shims and tightened, put in 30mm spring spacers on front to try and 'reset' geometry. Tightened front wheel bearings. Another wheel balance and alignment, drove it down highway, hey its fixed, or so i thought, two days later back to shakes! WTF!
Had 100kg of cement bags in rear tray and finally the thing showed some sort of improvement in front shakes, decreased the most i'v eva noticed, still there but not nearly as bad.
Could there be something going on with the rear springs/ rear end causing front end shakes? Or is it just lifting the front up a little more than the 30mm spacers?
New panhard rod bushes on order, apparantly Nissan dont sell em seperately anymore!!!!?
Have checked the front end out as have various mechanics, all appears good with no obvious problems.
This thing is driving me mad..... Anyone know of any mechanic in Perth that can fix this b4 i drive it off a cliff!? Any other suggestions?? other than keep the cement in the rear..
Oh yeah - and suggestions like dont drive it btwn 80-90kms dont really help.:crazy:
Dunno if its suspension, steering, wheels or tyres so posted it here, (save repeating it )
(sorry for long winded rant) any good info would be appreciated.
ARGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!:sad::coffeeti: cheers
