I read a post the other day where a guy welded some snall box section too his, sorted it pretty well apparently.

So the bushes will likely be a waist of time?
Need Martin to chime in, I've pm'd him.
It's such a ball ache, gonna go ahead and do arb bushes and drop links + panhard bushes next.

That's the kind of links I'm thinking of. Either making from scratch with stronger tube or bracing original 1 to strengthen. I've gotta take mine off and see if it's repairable first. Need to make room for it at work and just strip the while front Inc king pins etc I think

Right I've now got super pro panhard and antiroll bar bushes, new drop links, and later 2009 on radius arm to chassis bushes coming... and the said offending oil seal.
Any tips on fitting the bushes?

panhard & ARB bushes are easy with some threaded rod and some various size sockets.

The radius arms are a really big press (30T +) or drill out the rubber and cut the metal band out with a hacksaw. not easy and takes ages. I think there was something about doing this in the big jimny blog. the new ones will need a press if standard (mine are polybushes and in 2 parts so no press needed).

Cheers pal, maybe a garage job for those then....
Just fitted the panhard bushes and new oil seal, also removed some shims to make it just one at the bottom to see if there was too much preloaded causing it...
Still dangerous to brake from 50mph.
Running out of options here now.
Not sure whether to get the wheel bearings done as I've read they are very hard to diagnose and people have fixed death wobble by Changing them even tho they felt fine...
Dreading having the radius arm out, awkward as it's our only car had enough now uuuurgh.
Snapped a king pin nut earlier but thankfully i was able to cut a groove in it with my dremel and it can out with a screwdriver!!!

Fitting poly bushes to my panhard was what caused my death wobble.

Some Suzukis and a bunch of motorcycles.

Fitting a certain brand caused it ;) Fitting another brand (Bits4Vits!) sorted it? ;)

[/quote] Is the wobble only under braking?

I will add it only does it when we brake between 60- 45mph.... might see if the pads are sticking?

I done the discs about 3k ago and pads, its not a warped disc its a sway around and bounce wheel to wheel wobble!
