The RTC damper vibrated?

It was never initially fitted as a RTC fix, honestly it was more a bit of "bling". Naively the change in steering angle never really occured to me when I did the lift and it wasn't really an issue until I started long haul highway driving. Which was when I noticed the RTC not adjusted right.

Once centred correctly it was actually pretty good around the 50-85kmh mark, but just got twitchy above that. That's what I am hoping to fix.

I have decided to do the slotted swivel hubs and found an exchange pair at King Pins. Rick there seems to be all over his gear and well priced.

What also ended up happening was a complete dismantling of the front. I even have the diff centre out and hope to remove some of the back lash it has. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...33e8bd5f7f.jpg

It's not! I'm just being brave. Probably not much different to the one I had in the NT and as usual, can't get it in the garage..

At least you won't have an issue bleeding the cooling system!

There is that - and the need to use low range just to get up the driveway in the wet... [bigrolf][tonguewink]

The driveway at my dad's new house would be barely legal. If we go there and have to park up the top, I use hill decent in the disco so we don't die coming down.

It's hilarious watching him get a run up to get up the drive in his work van!
