Hi everyone, I have a problem with my defender 90. When driveing I have the sensation of not being in full control of the steering, i.e. tending to wonder ever so slightly. I have fitted new rear chasis to axle bushes, all new track rod and steering ball joints and still have this strange sensation.Any thoughts would be welcome.
The strangest feeling

Could be panhard rod bushes, wheel bearings/swivels or even worn shocks.

I had this with mine, I had changed the rear wheel bearings and left too much play in them when adjusting them up.
Try getting hold of the wheels 1 by 1 and giving them a good push and pull from side to side.
You should not be able to move them more than a tiny bit.
Once I readjusted the bearing, it seemed to be OK - touch wood.

swivel preloads, trailing ar bushes, radius arm bushes etc can also all cause it.

I've just re-read this post. Before you do anything else, get yer tracking done. I was only 1mm out (which is well within tolerances) when I replaced my track arms but it made a hell of a difference to the steering.
