I've got the wobbles!!!!

[mudmuncher]

I've fitted a replacment sammy leaf spring front axle on my vitara... yes vitara.... as i broke my last one.  :(

Now i've got the wobbles at a speed approx 40mph  :(

I run 35x 12.5 inch tyres.

Would it be because i need to refit the steering dampner  :?:
or do I need to strengthen the axle ( old one was) ?

Or is it something completely different   :?:  :?:

I'd go with fitting a steering damper , had this problem on my old zuki .

get your wheels balanced

update..................
turned my prop half a turn and now i only get the wobbles at 40mph.  :( under that i get no wobble and above that the wobble goes :D

[Whatmot]

resonance in the steering or drivetrain possibly. try driving it at 80, see if it comes back :lol:

Somebody on here will know but I assume zuke axles have kingpins the same as a Landy..... wear in these will decrease the preload and allow wobbling at certain speeds although I would have expected it slower than 40mph
