DEATH WOBBLE

Steering had felt a tad soft yesterday.

Today, driving at 40 - 50, hit a little hump. steering wheel goes crazy. Had to slow down to 5mph to stop the wobble.

Then on the way home it happened 5 more times.

Went under the car, got someone to move the wheel...

so thats the job to do.

Yep, that's a gonner. May as well do both ends as you are at it with new bolts.
Going poly or staying metalastic ? I have found Bearmach blue last/work well.

I did the other end not that long ago (6 months?) as there was a little play in it. I have a spare bush left from that as i somehow got two. Wasn't thinking of replacing the bolts, but that might be a good shout if there are in anyway bent.

Just gotta find a press.

I can't view the pics without signing up.
Guessing pan hard rod?

this might be better...

The amazing thing is how fast it failed. I must have only drive 20 miles from it feeling a little soft to 'F***K!!!!!'

I get this press play and get this with knocky noises.

Wear on the bolt shaft can result in a new bush soon going kaput or at least it's inner metal tube.

Like most landy jobs it's not too difficult, and I've got a workshop round the corner from me that does steam engines. They are pressing the new one in now.

I mean a new par with bushes isn't expensive.

Haven't a Scooby what that means .
Anywhoo...was it the pan hard rod or something else?
The holes in the axle brackets can also go oval along with worn bolt shanks. I've had to repair every single axle bracket on my 110 front and rear except 1 from ovaling.

pan hard rod. The bush on the end was completely destroyed.

Pressed a new bush in and and bolted up.

Crikey, that's the worst I've seen. Very surprised you haven't had death wobble earlier.

RIGHT????? It's weird. It just went all of a sudden.

Now I did replace one of the bushes in the rod about a year ago, maybe a little more. Could have been this one, might be the other end. So perhaps it's the bushes I'm using. (they where cheap).
