About to do all wheel bearings, swivel hubs, front rotors, whatever else on the 80 series, before the cape. Fucking cunt job.

My GU only ever gets driven on 4wd specific trips these days. Can be up to 6 weeks or more workout being started although during summer its up DI quite a bit.

Its life last year was vic high country, cape york, north straddie, lcmp, fraser island, and now lcmp again on the 27th.

Funnily enough that's exactly what brought this (steering wobble) on I suspect

I'm doing pan hard rod bushes (front & rear), tie rod ends (left & right), and while I'm at it, Superior Engineer radius arms

Swivel/knuckle bearings can be the culprit too. I have a LHS warped disc, which is exagerating either a tie rod end/swivel bearing/panhard bush failure. Will do tie rods at asame time, and check panhard bushes. Steering box mount cracks can cause a wobble too, fuck i hope that aint so....

What was Simpson like Zennon?

Ps dont mind MartyXF, his Jeep GC is far superior to any Japanese fourbie....

[T T Celica]

Simpson is a nice, relaxing 3-5 day drive across it. The easiest of the "proper 4wd" trips ive done
