G'day Troy,

Were the wheels balanced by a reputable tyre dealer?

Had a similar problem wit my vehicle at 110km per hour and turns out the balancing was way out of kilter. All fixed now.

Cheers.

Troy,
I had a similar thing with mine. Tried balancing which helped but problem was still there. In the end it was the wheel bearings. Although they seemed fine when I jacked it up and felt for play it wasn't until I removed tha drive plate and those bugger cone washers that the play was noticed. Mine was primarily caused by the front left bearing which was loose, Murphy's law, it was the last one to be checked and it was the culprit. After resetting all of them I took it for a run up to 140k ( I know i shouldn't but they really like the speed) and all is fine.

Hope it helps


Rob

Check hand brake adjustment - may be too tight.

Hi Troy, bent rear axle, I had it happen on a 93 RV. Was bent from new. Dealer took it out put it on the workshop floor and it rocked backward and forwards with a gentle push instead of rolling.
Just a thought.

I had a a bent front driveshaft and bent axle that did the same- slight wobble at 80, real noticeable at 110. The bent axle kept chewing inner axle oil seals though so that was a giveaway. When you replaced the wheel bearings did ya notice any diff oil in any of the bearings?

I couldnt find a reasonable price for a front shaft balance so I got one out of a 75 series- Bolted straight in.

I also got a wobble up under heavy accelleration which was the front CVs on their way out (chipped cups)- maybe worth checking. Just get a grease gun onto the nipple and keep pumping till grease comes out of all 4 cups.
