Surprisingly no one has mentioned to check the lugnuts as the first thing to do. Although that may seem to be the least likely.., an ounce of prevention.., the next thing is to check wheel balance. One note about corroded alloy wheels is that they tend to accumulate loads of mud that offset proper lead/weight balancings. Check the tire mounted front wheels for any wobble, i.e., side to side, in and out from the top to bottom. All the aforementioned are free of cost checks. It is also proper, i.e., check alignment-- which is costly in my area, i.e., a hundred bucks. All of that said, as "xcm" said, as per "birchlake"'s 'list', those of us who have fixed our DW, are reporting the part(s) that corrected said. Good thing I already did numbers 1, and 2 before my first DW! However, by investigating this site, I found my best solution to old worn/wearing out parts to my front end was to generally do all I could to diminish DW. Hence I found a member here on
, who has product solutions:
http://www.kevinsoffroad.com/ Beyond the fact that I was going to order OME coils, leafs, and shocks before my first experience with DW, then experiencing it, my investigations of DW led me to take his advice, especially after reading nearly everything on his web site, and purchased what I felt I needed to correct DW, (including JKS discos as an aside to the issue). Hooray! I have one sweet front end now on my '89, not to forget to mention the non-sway bar rear as well, lol. Oh, and to you fellows that might be interested, the CIBIE head lights are spectacular, and the ARB winch bull bumper is just what I needed in case I run into any Alaskan Kangaroos:cheers:
