Had the same on mine, tension on the pre swivel was off.

try uj in props are ok

Bushes on radius arms, panard rod the trak rod ends, prop shaf ujs any of them are worn can cause this to happen as well

Have you had the preload on the swivel bearings checked .?

Have you checked your propshaft u/j's?

is there a parrot in ere

Yes

how do you check the swivel preloads ??? and do you do it on both wheels ????

i dont think its ujs as it doesnt do it all the time !!

Cheers for the in put and info guys

I will see wat happens then we I can afford to do them haha

hi you say you have had an impact you mite have sqoshed one of the swivel housings slightly that would give the same simptoms of needing of removing shims

Click to expand...

how to check prea load jack up front axle disconect tie bar from hub so you can move hub by hand then you need a set of fishing scales connect them to track eye and pull if right it should read around 15llb if less take out shims thay are all different thickness take one out and try with scales again if you take out too many your stearing will be stiff
if there is no shims you will need to change top and bottom swivel bearings and add shims to get the desired efect

Depending on which era of LR workshop manual you select/use, the swivel preload is between 3 and 6lbs WITHOUT the larger scraper seal fitted.

Obviously with the scraper there is more friction so more preload.

cheers now saying when i did my traking ages ago a mate said that moving the hub/wheel was quite stiff so think it that !!

Cheers guys great as usual !
