Where abouts "In the Hills" are you m8? May be able to swing past and have a look, but sounds like worn bearings.

Hi Lexx,
I'm in Bright mate, where are you? I'm starting to think its the Panhard. How soft are the bushings supposed to be normally, as their is a little (1/8") movement side to side when the steering wheel is turned.
I spoke to TW this morning, he states its generally not the damper also.

Also I only have 25 thou on the clock, so I can't imagine the bearings are worn, but it is a jeep and they have a mind of their own.

1/8" movement is too much IMHO for the panhard.....I think you've identified you culprit....

G'day all,
Me thinks the bushings are kf cked, my front lower control arms have no excentric bolts or washers, so I have temporarily botched up some spacers, to adjust the caster. This seems to have made alot of difference.
But I'll be taking it to a pro (or so?) in the area next week and getting some proper excentric bolts, or maybe evan a slow trip down to the big smoke to see TW.

Thanks for the support :P
