So I built a challenge truck back in the summer. I no master fabricator but I've always wanted to try my hand at building a tray back.
So on completion I fitted a set of beadlock wheels with 37" tyres. There started my problems.... Over speeds of 40 mph I would suffer a slight wheel wobble that exploded into what would be described as a tank slapper.... It felt like the steering was going lock to lock.
Now all bushes had been changed when I was doing the conversion so that ruled then out.
So I had to look a bit harder, this was how I fixed it......
Front wheel bearing adjustment to remove a small amount of play.
Adjusted the swivel housing bearing preload.
Installed a terriferma 4 stage steering damper
Tyre pressures checked.
With these mods and adjustments everything runs really smooth.
Hope this helps someone else...
