BRITPARTS cured my death wobble..

believe it or not, after fitting a pair of britpart front shocks a few months ago, today was the real test to see if it changed anything on a 140 mile return trip to drop off the mrs, daughter, 1 grandchild and a disco rear chocked full of xmas pressies.
= had a bit of a load on !!
used my usual potholed route of A12 from mine to just inside of the M25 without a slightest mumur of wheel wobble,
then drove home alone through the worst rain I`ve seen in a long time - BUT, again, that poxy potholed road from M25 back along A12 to my hometown turn off without the slightest mumur of wheel wobble.
OK, I was not driving like I stole it, but was following heavy traffic at speeds between 45mph to nigh on 70mph.

like most I used to get bad wheel wobbles at around 55 to 65 mph...

when I took off my old front shocks it looked like they had been on there a long long time, possably from new ??
as the lower fitting nuts had almost welded themselves on

still, after the poxy weather drive, the non existant death wobble has made me smile today,
all done by Britpart....



how long they last - how the feck will I know....lol
merry christmas

nice to know matey.

they came via ebay, eventually, but at a good price, and seem more firmer/harder ride than the old ones, so it just might have been the problem all along.
I had done the tightening of both swivels, new track rod ends, regreased and adjusted bearings, only thing not yet done is steering damer, but have had that off/checked it - seemed to have a good resistance, but ??
maybe my next purchase in the new year.

merry christmas oldseadog..

Many thanks, my friend.

And a Merry Christmas to you and yours from me and mine.
