I have a 2010 MN manual with a bulbar, lights and 31" AT's as the only add ons atm. 35 psi in tyres.
Issue 1: I know I have the dreaded driveline vibration from 90- Ill address this as per the existing thread.
Issue 2: Everytime I go bump, hit slightly rough road etc my steering wheel vibrates like crazy and then the rest of the car vibrates also, terrible like opposed to my old mans standard 2010 hilux. The steering wheel usually vibrates a tiny amount all the time as well. Bump steer is also present. The ute also throws me around when these things happen (bump steer, hit rough patches). The ute also always wants to pull left harshly, despite multiple wheel alignments- the ute just will not hold straight- the bridges are only 4000 kms old and I had a wheel alignment when they were put on. These issues are noticeable during all driving, but are severe over 80 ams/ hr. The tyres are balanced, 35 psi cold pressure. Im not travelling over 110 clicks at any stage either, or driving on dirt corrugated roads either- these occur on highways etc.
I wonder if my problems are; 1. poor tyre balances? 2. Poor wheel alignments? 3. Shocks/suspension is stuffed? 4. Bearings/ driveline out of alignment? 5. ALL OF THE ABOVE?
Im thinking of sending my truck to a 4x4 specialist suspension place for assessment- currently saving for an ultimate suspension lift- but with building a house and recently being really crook and work is a little light on atm- I just can't chuck one in just yet.
What do you guys think ? Cause I'm really effing cranky about it now....
