nothing.
My wobbly sterring problems are annoying me and people keep moaning at me that I havent greased me nipples for over 18months and that greasing the nipples on the steering joints maybe a source of the problem. So today after work I went to 5 shops to find a grease gun. Eventualy found one at a tractor dealers!! As you do when you live in the country side!! :lol:
after getting it home and loading the cartridge (never had a cartridge loading one) push the button on the top by accident and it releases the spring which hits the now open cartridge with a huge force propelling it onto the kitchen worktop and ejecting a load of grease all over the work top and mobile phone and car keys :twisted: Lesson learnt. load the gun in the garden!!! :lol: I nearly un screwed the wrong end too and as I unwound the barrel I thought I could hear a spring being twisted. Quickly tightened that back up before a spring in me eye!!
anyway
now with loaded gu I went under the disco and looked for nipples. I moved my self to a different position to look, then in another and so on for an hour. I found NOTHING. so I rang me mechanic and he said "there arent any to grease. Only a rare few have grease nipples on 2 steering joints." :twisted:
Well I had to use my new toy on something so I greased my caravan break overdide hitch system by the coupling head!!!
And to kill time I have put the grizzly claw tyres on ready for the wekend. What a fun 2 hours drive that will be humming tomorrow to my mates house!!!! :lol: :roll:
So the mystery of the wobbling and tyres rubbing still exists and worse with different tyres on.

Oh well, you might as well do your prop shafts now you've got it :)
