Yeah, you're right, methodical diagnosis should always be the last resort. It's always better to just start replacing stuff first, including things unrelated to the issue.

Did you do it with the swivel seals removed? Also, you have ABS so it's set with a torque wrench. Is that the method you used?

Agreed and very astute Tom. This one reminds me of Ian.

You guys are funny.. Especially since I was kind of pointing out the exact thing you are saying...

Let me try an easier sentence so you'll understand..

I spent an *** load of money on mine when there was nothing really very wrong and an alignment would have fixed the issue..
Start there.. While everything I replaced was certainly worn out.. None of it was the real cause of the wobble...

Better ?

Oh much better!

I would have picked an entirely different euphemism.

Kinda "blew" the whole post.

Hey, at least you showed you can stand there and take it.

Have an experienced Land Rover specialist check the preload on your swivels.
