I post this here too...
Well,it was time for me to experience some issues it seems...
I fitted my RR HD (red/white) springs a while ago
(I have yet to get longer dampers to match but...).
These gave my 90 a nice lift,even with my winch & bumper fitted.
I first had some bad annoying vibes until last Saturday when I finally fitted
Land Rover spring silencer plates (from Discovery # ANR 2938,IIRC)to the front.
The bad vibes are now gone (this is probably the cheapest alternative route instead of a DC shaft)
These isolators add barely 1 cm more of lift (uh-oh)...
The Cube is quiet as before,but!
I found myself scared to death while on tarmac,
as sometimes (I think when the pavement has some irregularities,corrugations,cracks,whatever)
the steering starts shaking as mad!
I mean sometimes it shakes so hard it you can literally feel the whole truck shaking!
I thought I was about to loose another wheel (happened,I'm paranoid now)) and stopped one side,
but wheeels were ok as the steering etc.
Now what?
I know with a lift the front roll center is raised because
and more "darting" about on the road in response to road irregularities...but this is too much!
Cranked radius arms jump into mind,but I can't afford
I have a couple of o.e. arms from a 1986 90 Diesel Turbo laying in the box I could sacrifice
and try to bend in a workshop...just need a precision press and someone who knows what to do...but...
...I don't really know...
So...thoughts?
:confused
The Cube handles fine and go straight if I leave the wheel,is quiet as before.
It's just this bloody shaking which worries me.
(SOB)
So far (I'm stuck at work at the mo) I was suggested to check:
*swivels preload (have to know how to yet)
*track rod and bushes (but I'm quite sure they're fine)
*steer alignment (will have it checked out ASAP)
*play in wheel bearings (I'm quite sure they're fine)
Thanks...
