oh no ! death wobble at 45 mph

Jim, thanks for the reply. Sounds like the Dealer at Exeter did a good job and at a reasonable price.
This is exactly what the main dealer here in Nottingham suggested, except I was quoted over £500 !!
Enjoy your Jimny, I do love 'em

Dave

Fellow owners thanks for all the advice and suggestions.
I'm really pleased that I didn't shell out for the work to be done at Sandicliffe SUZUKI.
It appears that they are very over priced. Will now shop around.
Please let me know, if you can recommend a repairer within 40 miles of Nottingham.
Also this may not solve the wobble, but I am going to give it a try. I ordered a steering damper from Rhino Rays. I'll let you know if there is any improvment when I fit it. Thanks again Dave

I never use a main dealer these days. I found a small garage that does quality work that will also accept cash for non-recieptable work I also appreciate the work they do for me with either a few cans of beer or a few packs of buiscuits for them to enjoy with their tea.

yes matey a steering damper should solve it

The trouble is Steering wheel wobble can be caused by so many things and it would seem that different people find different cures. Just search 'wheel wobble' or 'death wobble' and you will see plenty of examples.
If you are going to try the shim method on the king pins are you really prepared to pay £££s. You can buy them in the store here for £3.00 and for the sake of hour of you time job done including a cuppa. It really is an easy job just whip the front calipers off, no need to even disconnect the brake pipes. 4 king pin bolts drop the shimms in a bit of grease and job done. This guide will help but you only need to do the above to shim the king pin www.bigjimny.com/images/documents/Changi...KingPin_Bearings.pdf
I was lucky enough to be included in the trail for these shimms and can say in my case they have helped tighten the steering up even with the weight of 235s on so well worth a try for the cost even if they only improve it enough to restore your confidence in driving it. I have loads of pics from when I fitted the shimms if you need any help.
