i know its a long shot,
is anyone near falkirk area able to help me sort a couple of issues with my 110,

im willing to pay, but need my car back on the road and the garages i use are chockablock, week or even several weeks to wait for a date.

my wipers are fooked and ive got a death wooble i need looked at, even to see if i cant decide what needs fixed,
wipers are a must!

I walked to my work today in the ****ing rain, only took an hour.
Im willing to do the work myself just need a bit of tuition and some body willing to show me how.

Yeah I've got it. **** myself everytime I'm on the motorway

Ive changed steering box, damper and bearings, i ****e myself everytime it happens

the_wolf · Apr 4, 2014

What's it doing?

If I can get over at some point ill get a proper look at it for you and we can see if we can work out what's going on

If i go over bump pothole or a seam on road over any speed i get death wobble through steering up rack through steering wheel maybe three four judders its horrible

Need to start looking at your swivels then if you've changed damper, box and bearings

Will wheels fall off? Will i die?

Oldseadog · Apr 4, 2014

No they won't fall off and yes you will die!

Maybe, it happened to me but I didn't die

Thats ok then so its not a death wobble then just a plain wobble

the_wolf · Apr 4, 2014

What you could do for now is jack up both front wheels and jam the brakes on. This will take out any possible play you have in the bearings and let you check for play in the swivels themselves.
I assume you've had a look at the rear wheels and suspension too? It may not be restricted to the front at all

biscuits · Apr 4, 2014

Everythings got play in it even the mats
That why im looking for help its nearly 30 years old, but its mine and i love my landy, if i got rid i will just get other

timc1967 · Apr 4, 2014

I would have thought steering damper but what about castor angle? Tbh I don't even know if that is adjustable

Oldseadog · Apr 4, 2014

I said you will die ...

I didn't say when!
