    I understand that there is a 12v+ source coming out from one side of the fuse socket and then live side going to the TC system. I still don't understand If I put a piggyback fuse there how I am rerouting the live wire back to the TC system if there is no place to connect. "Could loop it back...

    Death wobble and swivel pin preload.

    Nope, I have No I have not. I just watched a video on how to do it. I am thinking of ordering shims if I have to do this. I am guessing I would need them? Why does this happen? Is it because over time the shims compress and thin out?

    Death wobble and swivel pin preload.

    Okay so let me give now a real situation that happened yesterday. I was commuting on the my highway (motorway) and like mentioned before 80km/hr, every time, No issues. However, once I got to 85-87 I got a nasty wobble, on this particular part of the highway, to slow down is pretty dangerous...

    Thank you again! All understood and thank you for your patience’s. I am only confused on where to reroute the live wire after the switch if the piggyback fuse is there? If there is only an output wire, how do I reroute it back to the tc system? To make it stupid simple, could I use that...

    New transfer box needed! Surprise

    Try to rebuild it though, perhaps you can find a rebuild kit. Or possibly send it in for reconditioning, should be cheaper

    TD5 Defender Traction Control DIY Switch

    I am looking to install a Traction Control Switch? I have a Nanocom so not worried about clearing the fault when it's turned on. Looking to tap into the ABS+TC Fuse. Can anyone provide a step-by-step safe setup for this and parts I would need?

    Good news in my opinion. I find giving two cycles to prime the pump does make a difference

    Death wobble and swivel pin preload.

    I too have a death wobble but at very strange timing. I got my front tires replaced and balanced due to a snapped tire wire. I kept the tire that had a snapped wire on for about 6 months. Very hard to find defender tires where I am based. However, sorted out my steering wheel wobble. Before...

    Strange Start Up Noise - TD5
