Range rover V8 question? - MG-Rover.org Forums

I know this isnt the right forum for this, you can all tell me off later.

My father in law, has a 1982 range rover classic V8 3.9, and is having a problem with a wobble at 60-70 mph through the steering wheel. he has had the balancing done, and reshimmed the swivel pins. does anyone have any idea what ese could be causing this as he is stumped.

Thanks in advance

Chris

There are a few possibilities here

Steering damper is worth a look at on early Rangies
