Tie-Rod

Post by roeland.vlok »

Kerels,

As ek die rem van my 97 SFA trap dan voel dit of die regter voor wiel "wobble". :thumbdown:
Ek vermoed dit is die "Tie-Rod" wat los is.

Jack mens die wiel van die grond af op om dit vas te maak of albei wiele???
Hoeveel moet mens vas draai dat die wiele nie "toe-in" of "toe-out" staan nie.

Ry net Kerk toe op Sondae en so af en toe bos toe. Enige hulp word waardeer! :beg:

HI Guys.
I would check the following on this vehicle.
1)Tie rod ends
2)Steering damper
3)Shocks

The problem would be with one of these if you bring it to me ill check it for you but you are in PTA a bit far.
Why don't you go see Louis at 4x4 megaworld he looks after the guys your side.

Regards
Darrell

If it feels fine when you go over bumps / potholes in the road but only wobbles when you brake, then you have a warped brake disc, especially if it feels like it's more on one side than the other.
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.

Die Squeek-Meister is nou sonder 'n wobble! :thumbup:
Die probleem was die "drag link" wat erg uit gesluit was. Redelik dankbaar die ding het nie uit gehaak terwyl ek gery het nie... :shock:

Waar kan mens 'n SFA se "wheel alignment" laat doen in PTA?
