Finally it's not standard

May be worth considering a steering damper.

You should be ok then, motors have to give way to sail, stick a spinnaker on the front!

Run it a bit more now, vibration starts at 35, steering shakes like hell on the button of 40 and gone again by 45 Does it accelerating through 40, braking throught it and forget doing 40 - 30 or 50 only options till it's sorted :S . Back to get the wheels re-balanced first but the play / wear some where makes sense;the steels / bigger tyres are way heavier than the stock alloys so I guess they're putting on more stress. Only passed the MOT recently so hopefully nothings hanging off it It all feels ok jacked up but I'll get it on a ramp to check it all

Steering damper could be a good call; do they really make a noticeable difference ? I'd read they stop it tram lining as much but it'd take the shockie of a tank to stop what it's doing now :laugh:

Where's your sense of adventure? Try it with 2" body lift, 3" longer springs, 31" Insa Turbo Special Tracks with no anti-roll bars in the 70-80 mph winds we've just had up here in the last couple of days!:lol: :silly: :lol: :silly: :lol:

:laugh: it's not been much better round here mate ! going from the mitsi to the jimny was a big enough shock to get used to, it getting delivered with the king pins hanging out didn't help either - it was all over the road if a sparrow farted as I drove past - a case of :huh: :ohmy: :woohoo: :sick: and close to :side: and :silly: a few times when I got a bit to ambitious :laugh: I'm getting used to it but the missus isn't, stops her pinching it
