    Tracking down a steering shudder

    I can assure you it's not a wheel size issue :-) The car drove far better previously on the same wheels, it's an issue that's developed over the last year, so it has nothing to do with wheel size. While I understand the 16" will provide a smoother ride, by fitting 18" Land Rover wheels that...

    Tracking down a steering shudder

    it keeps my idle hands busy lol. I can tell you now they are worn evenly, they're not scrubbing either shoulder off, nor wearing in the middle due to over inflation. Had them off last weekend and checked them over while fitting new shocks in a monsoon. Took me 2 days to dry out lol :(

    Tracking down a steering shudder

    Oh they're worn :hysterically_laughi I don't think it's a warped wheel, but I'll try swapping the rears to the front tonight, see if that makes any difference. And adjust pressures accordingly obviously :D I don't like living with problems, it's took me ages to nearly niggle them all out...

    Tracking down a steering shudder

    Tyres are checked at least once a week, (slow puncture on the back lol) and at 2 or 3 different garages with digital gauge jobs, depending on where I stop. Correct on the shudder, only on rough surfaces or 40-50 cornering etc.

    Tracking down a steering shudder

    I can try reducing them, what do you run? Currently I believe I'm running 31psi front, 37psi rear? They were missing some weights about 2 months ago, but I had the car into my mates garage for it's MOT and I had the wheels re-balanced then. Would worn bottom ball joints cause a steering...

    Tracking down a steering shudder

    :doh: :D :D I should have mentioned speed, it's probably helpful, it usually occurs between 40-55mph? I tend not to be driving much faster than that, as there isn't enough petrol left in the UK to get me home / the car weighs as much as a small planet.

    Tracking down a steering shudder

    Pirelli Scorpion ST's. 255/55/18 mate. Wheel's were professionally refurbished and balanced last year, tires have been on since so I'm inclined to think it's not them. I may well swap the fronts to the back to see if it clears, but with the knock as well I'm thinking it's more mechanical?

    Tracking down a steering shudder

    Hi, I'm after some help and advice tracking down a steering shudder on my P38. Symptoms of it are, a shake can develop and worsen when say, driving over cats eyes, or hitting a stretch of uneven road. It's not massively bad, but bad enough for me to notice and know it isn't right. To...

    Hi from the North East

    Hi, I'm Matt, just bought myself what I reckon is a lovely example of a car I've wanted for ages, a P38 4.6 HSE. Anyhow, I've signed up to get some questions answered, and generally for some Land Rover related banter. I've owned 2 classics in the past, both 3.9's, an auto and a manual. My...
