I have had those on two different vehicles and they vibrated when above 70kph, took them off and all was good.

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.

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!
