it is but it wont go over 20km/ph before the front wheels and steering wheel start shaking violently

cloggy is kindly lending me his trailer for the weekend.....hopefully it fits on there

do you want me to hook you up with some balancing?

Haha, I work at Naenae tyre court on saturdays so i'll get it done there. Cheers anyway

Is it a big problem to fix James?

you checked the castor?? may not have enough??

Castor is fine as we have put big ass castor plates on. I think the problem may be that james was too cheap to buy a new panhard bush.

Steering dampner shouldnt really make a difference if we have castor right. All the ends were all fine?

You should try and get a panhard bush during the week and replace it and see if it makes a difference.

+ the bar needs to go back on
+ you owe me a tie rod end

what did it do????

I didnt shudder but it was all over the road and hard to keep in a straight line for more than about 2 seconds at a time

You should take a good hard look at the swivel bearing preload. If the castor is correct then there will be a high possibilty this is the problem.

You may want to measure the width of your disco now your running the gq's to see if its going to fit, my saf is 2030mm (but has 13.5" tyres) wide and car trailers that arent usually over 2000 wide.

How many shims are in the swivel bearings?

Is it a nissan panhard bush that is worn?? I have one you could try.

yea nissan panhhard bush thats worn.....what time are you at home 2moro arvo jared il come up and pick it up off you.....

it wont fit in its current state. as i have 11.5" wide simex's and -25 offset rims. but i have borrowed some standard alloys and 29" nissan rims and tyres off marty so should fit with them on it

If it needs to be towed out to rallywoods are we going to have to tow it round rallywoods?

Just kidding..... Should be interesting to see it in action finally
