Steering wobble..............

[BurgerKing]

Sometime when i go over road bumps it feels like my front wheels are wobbling left to right........Any ideas ??? :shock:

First off check your wheel nuts, Then Steering damper, Then bushes etc.

Usual suspects :

Steering Damper faulty / worn
Front Suspension Bushes worn
Steering rod ends worn
Steering Drop Arm loose
Swivel Preload incorrect
Worn Steering Box
Wheel bearings loose


A useful check is to have a good crawl around and have a look for signs of play with someone wiggling the steering wheel back and forth.  Once you have eliminated any play in the bits above, then you can look at the steering damper and preload.

Got exactly the same on mine.  Fine on 90% of roads but if its bumpy I get alot of side to side vibration.

The rear shocks have been done but my fronts are shot.  Im guessing it to be that as most of ther usual bushes etc all look fine.

It can easily be that because in extreme conditions you arn't getting a constant ground pressure.
