I went through all that shit last year including replacing the steering box, collum etc (everything except the steering wheel ) and sorted it out with a wheel ballance in the end, got between 900gm and 600gm per wheel, still got a shimmy but no death shakes any more

I had the exact same same problem at the exact same speed, same truck but low roof

One of the power steering hoses was leaking fluid, not heaps but had to top up every few days, replaced this and problem was solved, no issues since

BUT!!!!

I had completely demolished the front castor bushes well before the shaking started but a theory could be that the power steering was compensating for the bushes.
The hose was a factory one, wrapped in a foam sleeve

The bushes were replaced about 2 weeks after the hose was replaced so not really sure if it was a power steering fault or a bush problem

Havn't touched any of parts you've done work to.

Hope this helps.

What he said, mine does the same when mud on rims. I blew a panhard bush completely & drove home like that & truck just wondered all over the rd but shaking wasn't an issue.
Try & borrow some other wheels & see if shake is still there.

Will be Panhard bushes i've seen this pop up lots and its always panhard

In some cases. Mine was worn king pins. Are you running castor correction bushes?

There is no lift in the truck so no need for caster correction bushes...

Funny thing is mine has now started this... never had a problem til Taz01 came round and told me about his issue...

Had similar issue years ago with a truck with big tahs went through all the steering components over several months and finally tracked it to a knackered steering damper, when this was replaced, no more wobble.

what size tyres has it got?

does it have any lift at all?

the trucks stock standard
no lift
33s
have also replaced the steering damper (new)
have tried another set of wheels and tyres std 31s still same

My offer is a good one dude as long as i can borrow a doller you wont get a better offer for it

had that with mine, pan hard bushes were stuffed, steering box needed adjusting a bit and one of the rims was slightly damaged. Check the leading arm bushes as well.

so what was the problem then??

panhard bushes but everything i replaced needed doing anyway..

Hey did ya end up using genuine bushes?? mine the same with my cooper atrs,,,,and when i use the kl71's alot better,,, panhard bushes sound easy to do first ,,,,,mine shakes more turning one way than the other
