Hi folks
Ian & Anne here
We just got a 27T on the road - but if you hit a rough bit of road of a pothole
the front wheels develop an oscilation (scary) and it wont stop until you slow right down or possibly accelerate through it.

Anybody got any ideas?

It is a shortened sherpa front axle with a steering box and drag link
(it's just had new track rod ends - made no difference)
Box chassis/rover 3.5/capri 3.0 rear axle

Hoping someone has come across something similar

Thanks
Ian & Anne

Hi Ian & Anne

It might help if we had a little more info like what spring or springs your using and have you got a damper

I would also get you caster checked and while you have a bit of time have a look here it might help

Might be worth checking tyres aswell,inside tyre wall sometimes get bulges over the years

not realy my field
but it if your running leaf springs it may need wedge plates to give correct camber on axle , also if your running the sherpa springs they will be way to hard

The 'tech forum' is worth its weight in gold
