It seems to happen mostly on the straight although once today it happened and I tried to keep going without backing off but when we came to a corner it didn’t want to turn! I turned the steering wheel but the Defender kept going straight until I backed off and gently pressed brakes once shaking...

You can buy lowering springs from Paddocks never fitted them myself. Don’t think it cause any problems lowering by an inch. https://www.paddockspares.com/land-rover-performance-parts/suspension/lowering-springs.html

I checked all of this today I disconnected from the top mount removed the turret and the shocks were as you’d expect for shock absorbers with 2500miles on them as is every other component in the steering and suspension all good. We took it out for run so my dad and his mate could see what was...

Checked everything 3 times had my dad work the steering whilst I looked then I worked the steering wheel whilst he checked and Nothing No Play What So Ever!!! Wheel bearings swivels and all bushes are perfect!!! I’ve got a brand new Old Man Emu steering Damper that I’m going fit hopefully that...

Well checked absolutely everything and apart from the steering damper I can find nothing wrong even had my dad and his mate double check everything the only thing he spotted was the power steering pump pulley seemed to have slightly moved as per picture. As you can see there’s a slight gap...

Just checked prop shafts the slide good and no play in UJ’s

It wasn’t a hole it was more like a dip in road the first time it happened then was fine till yesterday when every bump or dip in road it started to shake also when trying to accelerate above 30mph the steering wheel would shake violently and whole car would too. Was in 3rd and 4th so not wrong...

Checked the UJ’s from steering box to steering column and all good too.

Tried it and no play same with the swivels the steering damper is only thing that is doing something it shouldn’t.

Just spent this morning checking all steering components/bushes for play and found everything to be tight and right only issue I found was the steering damper is loose where it bolts to steering rod and bolt is tight. When I fitted the damper it was a tight fit into the bracket. Would this...

I’ll go through everything tomorrow but like I said everything was fitted brand new during the chassis swap and only done 2000miles since. It was only MOT’d on 18th December with no advisories the tester was very happy how it all looked.

It’s just strange that this has only happened since I touched the belts. Was hoping someone would say it’s the power steering pump or something to do with belts

The Steering damper is a year old all mounts were also replaced when done the chassis a year ago. I’ve only done 2-3000miles since done the chassis

The egr is removed from my daughters TD5 and it sailed through MOT couple months ago

My 1993v200tdi Defender has developed a violent shake through the steering after hitting a bump or trying to drive over 30mph.It is totally undrivable it's quite scary when the shaking starts. It was rebuilt just over a year ago and has all new poly bushes and the axles and swivels were all...

That’s what I was getting with the Hawkeye 13.5-14.2

I'm going get a new battery charger tonight after work and get it charged up. What should the volts read when the engine is running and alternator is charging battery?

The battery on my daughters D2 was totally dead someone (possibly me) left an interior light on for over a week. Anyway gave it a jump start and after a bit it fired up only problem is now the M and S lights are flashing on dash tried getting Hawkeye to delete the fault codes P1842 and P1843 but...
