Defender 90 Steering

999Ric · Dec 28, 2009

I have a 2002 LR 90 which I lost on a corner recently at 50mph and came out unscathed after doing a 360 on the dual carriageway.
Prior to this and after I have noticed on right hand turns the left hand front wheel feels as if its understeering and "tucking in" although in reality its probably not. Nonetheless that corner feels very vague on right hand turns which is not the case with left hand turns ...............ANY IDEAS ????????

bit vague?

have you checked underneath for any obvious signs of damaged parts?
ie the steering arms,track rod ends etc

Maybe your steering needs centering or you need to slow down for the turns. Are the wheels tight? What tyres have you got fitted? Are they in good condition? Was it icy? Raining? Diesel on the road? Were you carrying a heavy load? Not enough info to make a sound diagnosis.

I'd bet on swivel bearings.

Tyres wear even? - If its not its more evidence the tracking is out of alignment
