Question
death shake 50mph replaced shocks,damper,worn outer tie rod, balanced tires,air pressure, alignment. still no help
Hi Mike,
you replaced or tested the 'usual suspects' to this common problem. There are a few 'culprits' out there that have yet to be tested: steering stabilizer, swivel bearings, wheel bearings, panhard bolts loose, even adjusting swivel pin preload by replacing worn shims.
What you may have done is correct those components that have been affected by the problem, now the trick is to find the real cause. My guess is at this point is swivel pin preload.
Best of luck,
JohnMc

Land Rover Discovery. I've had most of the common mechanical failures, altenator, water leaks, wiper failure, door/hinge problems, roof rust, floor rust, loads of electrical problems. Remember, I'm not a dealer or a mechanic, just an owner like most of you.

Owner of a Discovery. I've had many mishaps with our Disco but I still like this vehicle. Talk to a fellow LR owner instead of a dealership rep. I'm not in this for the money. I'm just an owner who wants to help others.
