Thread: Steering shimmy on Td5 110

if you jack up the front....and grab the wheels...one hand on each side and try wobble them...
is there any movement....?

then try and do the same holding it top and bottom.......


you are checking wheel bearings.....and tie rods...and also play in the pitman arm.......

also...check your lock stops havent come loose and arent doing their job.....


another test is to have someone shake the steering at a steady speed wheel left to right a bit.....
while you crawl underneath and check for movement in the steering gear...and radius arm bushes.....

if all is well....then it will either be the steering damper or the swivel hub preloads.......

but...methinks itll most likely be lockstops.......

where abouts in sydney are you.....?

Hi Defenderzook,

I'm in the south of Sydney, in the Sutherland Shire (Yowie Bay).

i could have a look at it for you some time.....
im only in illawong......

Maybe swap the front wheels left to right and see if the problem is still there, in case its a tyre carcase problem.

ive had this problem for a while and am still trying to track it down, have new wheel bearings and tyres and wheel alignment, let me know if you come up with anything, oh and mine only does it turning right aswell.
