Thanks JC, forgot to mention the panhard rod bolts too, that's pretty common.

Tooo common on the new ones:mad:

I tell ya, I am mighty disappointed, the more I see. Very disappointing as 100% of these things are preventable. Just had a 2010 with a stripped shaft between trans and transfer, at 52,000km - warranty job so flat trayed to the dealer. A 2008 130 with a trashed transfer case and by trashed I mean uneconomical to repair. Completely ate away the thrusts in the CD and destroyed the housing, flogged the case at the intermediate shaft and leaked like a sieve at 105,000km. Fitted a low km used one. I am not knocking the vehicles in an unkind way, I am just angry they have reduced the build quality and / or materials quality so much that these issues are even happening. I haven't even mentioned the multiple diff failures and rattling clutches, rubbed through intercooler hoses and leaking Vac pumps etc etc yet.

I love my almost 30 year old 110.

Wheel bearing preload?

I also had this problem and worked through all the suggestions thus far mentioned.

Initially I had improvement as one of my wheel bearings was loose but mine turned out to be preload on the swivel pins and it took two go's to get that right. Thanks to Madana for doing it up firmer than I thought necessary.

according to our new dealer this is common he has seen a few i'm not sure whether completely stripped but damaged, pretty sure this is what he was talking about.

Front end wobbles update

Since last post have had the front checked ans aligned. Was a fair way out.

A lot of the wobble went away but still not good enough.

So back to the dealer and they finally agreed there was a problem. They adjusted the preload on the swivel pins again but no joy. It has been with them all week now and I am told there is a crook bearing in the swivel assembly but they have to get one in from the UK.

Has any body had this problem ?

Not personally, but yes it can happen.
If the bearing is brinelled (has a small flat on it) no amount of shim adjustment will take the play out in that spot.

What blows me away is that LRA have none in stock.
It's just a smallish taper roller bearing and cone.

I'd bet any bearing service in the country could get them from a wholesaler here, and I'm betting at least four of the major LR parts importers have them on the shelf too.

They would have stuffed the bearing setting the pre-load to tight. Pat
