Evening fellow Landy people,
Can you check pre loads with driveshafts in and just track rods disconnected on your swivels

Its wobbling slightly on steering. Balls not pitted, look new, no leaks just think pre load maybe wrong. Going to try before l strip fully and just re shim ???

they dont need much preload as they are a bearing top and bottom, 3lb ,and if done by the book should have seals removed ,but if theres no free play i wouldnt bother
