steering wiggle

[nikko m]

i experience this with the safari,bago naman suspension components nya,medyo nakakatakot eh,parang kakalas,although not often,pero when your in high speed,then medyo uneven yun road or my bump,nag wiwiggle sya..what could be the prob.?this is the local safari and not those converted ones.i usually experiance this prob. with converted cars lang kce. although naayos naman sha,pero i wonder with this local safari.i was thinking about the stabilizers eh.

try to check the steering stab.

[Bubbles]

tire balance. alignment. stabiliser (but it sould not do that even without the stabiliser)

[roydok]

Wheel balancing lang yan. HAve the front wheels balanced.

Baka nasanay ka sa IFS. Sa LC namin medyo ganyan din compared sa Pajero pero tolerable naman.

[GlennSter]

or baka rin naman may bukol isa sa mga tires mo....ganun ako dati....lahat na ginawa ko...hindi ko alam posible pala mag wiggle coz of a bukol sa tires.

[nikko m]

ok,ill check on the stabilizers..mukhang yun nga eh..how much ba to?yun replacement lang.and papa tire balancing ko narin.pro meron pa kce shang mga tinga from the old tires.

otep,
whats IFS?

glennster,
hindi naman cguro,3 wks old palang grandtrek AT2's nun on all for corners eh.

anyway,thanks again guys.

IFS = independent front suspension. Solid axles ang mga Patrol, eh.

nikko m, try to solve the problem without the stabilizer. the stabilizer is meant to keep the steering wheel from turning when you hit rocks etc. it just hides problems not cure them.

look for the problem and fix it. try rotating tires, balancing them, check if out of round, alignment. don't rely on the stabilizer. you might be changingsomething that doesn't need to be changed. I'm using old man stab. pero until I get my tires balanced right, may problem pa rin.

[nikko m]

otep,
oic,so whats the diff.?is it one of the reasons on why the suspension of the patrols are very stiff?as in stiff?

bubbles,
ok,thanks man.

[OTEP]

Yung 'play' of the whole axle assembly can cause the steering to feel imprecise at times. Hindi iyan katulad ng IFS na the diff stays in place all the time. Sa solid axle, the diff is free to move in almost any direction. Pero siyempre ang halata lang ay yung up and down.

Stiff siya dahil sa spring rates. Hindi dahil sa design.

stabilizer yan... 3 safari na ang naexperience ko na ganyan, usally occurs from 80 to 100kph, huwag sana yung centerlink, mahal yun

My tires took more than 3 times to balance each tires. Tama po si rodcarolino 80km/h above lalabas ang palag.

Kung after making a turn tsaka may palag, check tie rod ends, steering stabs. Bihirang masira ang center link lalo na di ginagamit sa offroad. Tsaka madali ito ma-check yung may kalog ang ball joints. Btw, a center link costs P8,500. Meron akong ginagawang paraan para mas makamura.

[kimpOy]

nasabi na nila lahat.

[wreckless]

yung sa akin nawala after nung nagpabalance ako ng tires.

ahem,, bossing baka pwede mo maituro sa akin ang paraan na yan para makamura, medyo matindi ang ginastos ko sa pagpapapintura at nasilip ko na medyo malapit na magpalit ng centerlink, tanong ko sa youngbros 12.5k daw. i was thinking for looking tierod ends na match tapos pasadyang high tensile na tubo, style pang jeep... hindi kasi kami marunong umiwas sa butas sa kalye eh...

[FrankDrebin]

YUng bang steering stabs pwede sa mga 4x2 trucks?

[nikko m]

ok,pa balance ko muna,if ever ganun parin,then ill check the one's you all have posted,thanks so much peeps.

Kahit na po di high tensile tube, mas mura ang uri ng tool steel kung gagamitin then, lalagyan ng grooves para sa ball joints. Additional locks might also be helpful para maiwasang mabunot ang ball joints. ;)

Pwede po basta may paglalagyan ng mounts. Pwede rin gawan ng sadyang mount kung magkakasya.
