Would depend entirely on what it is. I asked them about a relatively common part (can't mind now what it was) and they said they don't make it and had no plans to at this point.
Well it's a new chassis so can't see that being the issue and the axle end is fine. It definitely seems to be much more likely to happen when I'm going round a left bend and hit a pothole or bump with the left wheel but I only think it's this, I...
Check that the cable is actually fitted into the square housing of the speedo drive on the transfer box. It's hard to see and quite a few times when fitting it I thought mine was in but was actually jammed down the side so I had no speedo. Also...
Coming back to this I haven't managed to get any further look at what could be causing the issue but I have noticed it definitely seems worse and much more noticeable when turning left and going over potholes at speed, or coming round a long left...
Can't argue with that logic lol. I don't think mine has been stolen because it looks like a bag of **** and I'm always fixing it but it's all an illusion š
It probably never happened before because the springs will have been rusted in place. You could fit dislocation cones if it's going to be a recurring problem
I'll have a look at the balljoint then and see if that is indeed the problem. I can live with it for now as it seemed ok last night during a wee drive about but the death wobble was the first time it had happened despite having had those rattle...
That's me!
Seems like I forgot to update it.
The drop arm, once off, was indeed knackered, the ball joint was both stiff and loose, if that even possible!
Changed that and replaced the worse than useless Britpart steering damper which had been...
I'm happy doing it by feel and the steering has always been great with even the slightest movement of the steering wheel transferring to the wheels so I'm confident there's no slack there. I did check the drop arm but can't see any issues. I...
Checked over both swivel pin preloads and whilst I can't get an exact number (due to poor information available as to what that number should actually be and crap scales) it feels fine to me. Pins are not worn in the slightest and still look as...
Both pins are in great condition. Ive seen worn pins before, including someone's I repaired that had no pin left whatsoever and he wondered why the steering felt off š¬. I'll do the left side tonight and see how it goes tomorrow
I've found so many conflicting things about this that I thought id just ask here. I've had a proper rattle through my steering when I go over any large bumps or potholes which I put down to swivel pin preload. Id lived with it for a while before...
