broke it again

extreme-4x4 · 27-03-2009, 21:36

yep 4wd gone all wobbly again

as you know all new steering stuff
tracking balancing camber all done
i thought i had it fixed so took paul up to banwen for a giggle... we did .but its not right

im right in thinking if the autos lock into 4wd they cant keep engaging the disengage can they
how about the diff could i have a problem there

it drives fine in 2wd and it will roll in 4wd in a straight line nice . but if i give it gas its like its grabing from side to side and pulling side to side
i cant drive it like this as im 40 percent in 4wd and its not roadworthy . i could die

last chance for it now .... im seriously thinking of burning it.

If you want to eliminat the autos - lock em in, take em off, remove the rings and then they are definitely locked in - no way they can move then.

But no the don't engage and dissenage randomly.

Have you replaced all of the steering bits? 4 TREs, drag link? Whats your steering idler like?

can i have the whhels and tyres before you do extreme??

extreme-4x4 · 27-03-2009, 22:00

yep 4 tre's ,drag link and new idler
is it possible to do that with the autos. ?

how about the diff would that do anything?

id say its like the diff is repeatedly switching from side to side, every one or two seconds when under strain or drive without welly it rolls smoothly

how about tyre presures i hot 26 front 36 rear

Bloody shame because we had a great time today!!

Tyre pressures don't seem wildly out do they....especially for those big boots, at least not sufficient to cause such a problem....not steering linkage is it?

makeitfit · 27-03-2009, 22:25

Cant believe you're having grief again

I dont think the tyre pressure would make much effect. It may make things drag to one side but not wandering about. I've had pressure drop in my big boots and only new when I got out and had a look!
So must be more like the autos not doing their thing properly.
No idea what though. Hope Trex can come up with a plan worthy of a tail on it

Good luck

extreme-4x4 · 27-03-2009, 22:47

oh yeah Paul we had a blast.... i did tell you to mind your head and push yourself back into the seat though.
that's where i took Pete to play when he had his old mav.... not worth taking yours to a place like that. just wreck it....

fun place though. but like i said its up to about the limits for a t2.

back to my problem though..... i recon it was good at the start but it started to play up about half way round. but it was not a full test drive so its definitely not right again

extreme-4x4 · 28-03-2009, 17:26

rain break......
got it changed now the hard bit re setting the tracking and camber etc

still not 100 percent going to make it

also some stupid prat (andrew) told the landy people where we was going. now ok they are friends but they just get all serious and tend to take over
i want to go and make my own mistakes not just spend the day doing what im told and how to do it
where is the fun in that
so i got all them thinking im an arse for not telling them in the first place and now not wanting them to come

you just cant win

Would this be the tracks you took me to a couple of months back?

If it is TAKE IT EASY
Top place mind and I was airbourne over some of those boulders!

Anyway do you happen to know if Frontera wheels will fit the Mav.
Not measured yet but the fronty seems to have a bigger offset

Oh if the landy boys do turn up I have a secret weapon "Thunderbird2"

He can lead them off to some more leary bits

the change channels on cb

extreme-4x4 · 28-03-2009, 19:07

Those frontera wheels , would they fit 10.5/31/15's and stay under my arches with no mods ?

After the rear shocks I was looking at those or similar
