Some Suzukis and a bunch of motorcycles.

If the shimmy started after you replaced the kingpins then maybe they need to be shimmed. The castor correction bushes should add some stability, given the issues that the Jimny has I think that Suzuki traded a bit too much stability to lighten the steering.

well the front Suzuki Replacement radius arm to chassis bushes went on yesterday and the front end has tightened up straight away, a lot of the slack feeling has gone, the intergrity of the rubbers in the original bushes actually looked OK but maybe the rubber had deteriorated.
also put on the first set of shims, has helped a little but needs the next size shims on,
will get these on next week.
:woohoo: have found my clonk :ohmy:
it's the universal joint, nothing going to fall off, so will live with it for a while,then replace it along with the Transfer Box Mounting Bushes
wonder when any of our suppliers may be having a sale, only 97 days till christmas :dry:
