Hi,
Can anyone suggest where in
Melbourne I can get my Sahara Cruiser frontend aligned properly.
Vehicle to date has had easy 85,000 Klm life with caravan towing for around 10,000K of that, no off roading.
Driving vehicle feels like driving on the top of a fence and wanders either side.
Outside of edges of tires are feathering so something is not right.
Front end has been aligned by an ARB reccommened front end specialist, Toyota and Pro Axel all without improvement.
Thanks

Had the same thing with my 100s VX. The thing wobbled and swayed all over the place especially a lower speeds, and the front tyres were feathering on the outer shoulders. It felt like all the steering joints were worn, but it only had 80K on the clock.
Tried everything including a wheel alignment, but nothing seem to make any difference. Finally put the wheels off my K/Karavan on and borrowed two more for a trial. It all went away. It was the tyres (Grandtrek 22) with about 35K on them, and they looked just fine.
Changed all four tyres to Bridgestone Dueller AT and have never seen the problem again.
Would be very surprised if your rack ends were worn at 85K.
Clive.
