Hi all

Some here might remember I drove my MJ from UK to Cape town in 2011 and did the 19,500kms with not a single breakdown, not even a puncture! Since then Bob has been stored in Gordons Bay and I've just been out to move him up to Zambia as the South African Customs only allow a foreign registered vehicle to stay in the country for a limited time.

The truck is in great mechanical condition now that I have resolved a number of issues that I would describe as teething problem (only done 78,000kms now, although 25 years old). However there is one I just can't fix! The ride is very smooth up to 73kms/hr and sometimes you can get up to 80 - 85kms and it is still smooth as silk, except for the slight rumble and vibration from the knobbly Michelin XZL tyres. But then the steering starts to shake. This is quite violent and very tiring for the driver. Slow down to 60 - 65kms/hr and it goes away. Speed up and it will probably come back at 73km/hr, but not guaranteed.

I've had the front wheels professionally balanced so that's not it. Made no difference at all. Also I've had the tracking checked by laser - it was toe out by 1.5cm and we adjusted to the recommended toe in which is slight. Again, no difference.

One clue might be the wear to the front tyre on the drivers side. When I had the wheels balanced in South Africa they couldn't balance this one because it had worn in a peculiar way (I now use it as a spare) - the individual blocks of the tread pattern are scuffed and worn on one face. But it did this shaking when I had the bar grips - before I got the Michelins from Vass & Co.

My guess is that something is misaligned. Any ideas what to look for and check? Any advice most welcome. ]]> REME freddiestaratemyhamster http://www.arrse.co.uk/reme/198967-bedford-mj-steering-shake.html Help needed with Scorpion turret http://www.arrse.co.uk/reme/198918-help-needed-scorpion-turret.html Fri, 17 May 2013 11:01:23 GMT No sure if this is the right place for this, but I'm restoring a Scorpion turret and I'm trying to find out what's missing in mine.

Arrse Family,

Big thanks for all your support during the blitz of my book on twitter and here on the site

I have no doubt everyone who has bought, viewed and glanced at the review left by Udipur, has helped this book along and it's message within

I have to say I never nearly uploaded the book and if it wasn't for my brother, it would still be sitting there limited in it's audience

The good news it has had a great impact in both here and social media and I am taking it over to Boston on Wednesday to facilitate my event Inner Happiness and V.I.C.T.O.R.Y Goal setting

Before I leave on Wed, I am recording an interview with SSAFA for their annual promotion and it is indeed an honour to assist where I was once assisted - all royalties from my book go to SSAFA indefinitely

I hope you may continue to support the bestseller Coma 2 Combat - A Soldiers Story

Look forward to keeping in touch from Boston and I wish you all best of health and success

Derek

Back in 2004, SSAFA helped me out financially when I was down in my luck.

I met with the same agent today when he returned my army record book after all this time and he asked me to be their voice

I'm humbled to be asked of course but it's funny how life works, all my royalties goes to SSAFA from my book Coma 2 Combat - A Soldiers Story

I'm speaking about how SSAFA assisted me and how they made a great difference in my struggle back then

If you want to donate 77p to SSAFA, please consider buying my Kindle book, it's a bestseller in 2 categories

Cheers
