I did this to try to cure death wobble. Already rebuilt the swivels and wheel bearings and panhard rod bushes. Now done the radius arm bushes and guess what?...........

Death wobble remains Big Cry It is better but not 100%. Suspension next!


Don't mean to insult but obviously you've checked tyre pressures? Cheers, David

Very nice of course, but your original HD Wolfs are/were equally nice Thumbs Up You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

Done all that. And balancing...I got rid of the constant wobble at around 55mph by replacing a knackered wheel bearing. But it is still all over the place when I hit a bump. I am replacing a pan hard rod bush today which has been destroyed in the space of 3 months. It was a genuine one as well!!



Thanks for the offer ray....I have been thinking about getting in touch to see whether we could drive each others cars, as it seems you have done everything which is on my list...and more! 2002 110 td5

What LED spot lights (not DLR's) do you have on the bumper David, if you dont mind me asking?


These are the ones: http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=390685087918

They're at the 'cheap and cheerful' end of the spectrum but they do put out fairly decent light for the price and they're not corroding at all. If I were looking for serious light output then I'd spend a bit more or go halogen, but I liked the look of these and they're cheap :thumbsup:

Washed it and then considered fitting the new wheels, steel modulars as I've decided to replace the 20" wheels. Look out for them in the for sale area soon. Really like them but I don't think the're right for what I'm doing with it now. _______________________________

I had a wobble that remained after ballancing - eventually found out that one wheel was slightly bent even though it ballanced OK
Only discovered by swapping all 4 wheels with another landys and the wobble dissapeared - just a idea

Swapped the new tyres from front to back and while doing the rear passenger side I discovered that the bolts that hold the flange to the hub 3 of the 5 had sheared!

Shocked

I'm assuming someone has worked in that area recently? Even so it's very poor form; or is it the tea leaves now moiving on to hub assemblies !

There has been no work done in that area other than me changing pads a while ago. I have never had the need to touch the bolt. Ive had the car almost 5 years. So its a strange one. Just happy I found it. 1999 Defender TD5 110
