I'm going through this atm and trying to sort it out is doing me head in. Anyone know where to get a decent dynamic (inner and outer) balance in perth? May have to rebuild 1 x shock, have just replaced panhard bushes. Adjusted wheel bearings. Will sort it but in the meantime... painful

Unfortunately, not in Perth at this time.

I use Mathew at Peel Tyres in Mandurah now.

He does truck and light truck stuff as well as passenger, and so has the right equipment.

So I would be looking for someone like that in your area. The chain store tyre shops should be avoided.

With the exception of Beaurepaires, you can go to one of their commercial centres in either Kewdale or Canning Vale, they do a lot of fleet, light truck, semi work in those areas.

I also used these blokes once, lost a few weights when up in the hills around Kalamunda and the vibration was really bad, was recommended to use them and they did a good job.

They are in Welshpool, but it was some time ago.

Cheers bud. Happy to drive where ever if they know what they are doing. Wheel alignment cant be that hard can it?

So, I changed out my drag link ball joints seemed to improve for a while but the wobbles are back. I have narrowed it down to wheel alignment and tie rod ends stuffed. Will try some toe in when I get home and change out the stuffed tie rod ends

I'd be checking your panhard rod bushes properly first, if you get the death wobbles. I'd bet money they cause the majority of death wobbles. King pin preload really just gets rid of an annoying shimmy after balancing etc etc is checked.

You don't have this issue warthog. I'm speaking generally.

Franky.

Changed mine with genuine, no difference :|

So, just tightened up the steering box to take out the play. Only tightened less than a 1/4 of a turn. See how we go. The wobbles are starting to get to me lol. If not this, then king pins and shock rebuilds coming up.

Update: better but still terrible.

Was reading a post the other day about adjusting toe to be slightly out with bigger rubber?? I would have thought toe in. Anyone care to shed some light? My drivers side amada extreme shock is stuffed (leaked oil) so that's probably not helping and I'm not sure how old the king pins are

Found my wobble! Both sperical joints shagged in my panhards

 

[klappers]

Did they visually move when wobbling the car on the spot? I got the Mrs to give the vehicle a hard shake while I layed underneath and the panhard didn't move in comparison to the chassis the slightest bit. Would you say that means mine are fine?

So on the front you could physically see it move when turning. Back you could move with some vigorous pushing. I would say your chassis end is ok but diff end might be flogged?

So, after 12months plus of trying to track this wobble down, I have made the most progress. Sperical bushes replaced, wobbles gone. I'll call it an absolute win in a couple of days time

Right, I've had a chance to drive the beast for a while now and it's still not 100%. There is a slight shimmy under brakes still, but I'm 99% certain that it is actually the brakes now. I will purchase new rotors and pads over the coming months and hopefully this will be the end (for now I'm sure). I have attached the part no. for the spherical bushes if anyone needs to change theirs. I purchased mine from road runner. Seemed to be the cheapest going for genuine. I had road runner heavy duty panhards and I'm not sure what their spherical joints are made of but it feels like jelly to me. I could only manage a small bit of free play by hand in the joint, but loaded under steering it would actually knock the chassis lol. Whoops, should have changed them ages ago. Anyways, all good now.

So for myself, like many others here, trying to fix the wobbles has had me at wit's end. In the end it was lots of things that needed replacing. Panhard bushes are a big one, but the final piece was the brakes. Had 1x stuck piston and 2x stuck slides on one rear brake. Replacing all rotors and pads plus rebuilding the brakes has , fingers crossed, finally sorted it. I've also replaced all rims and tyres as well

@Boundry Rider

Check the brakes mate. Once I did the brakes in combination with other things my wobble have gone. I did a full brake rebuild (calipers) and new rotors and pads all around. Now she stops like a beast and no more wobble

 

[klappers]

Were your brake disks warped?

Yep. Just enough to throw it out

 

[klappers]

Was the brake pedal pulsing while braking?

No not noticably

 

[klappers]

Loose radius arm bolt did it this time

And a full set of new bushes
