Default It's the hub right?

After changing my suspension I started to notice a wobble in the steering wheel between 47 and 53 MPH. The steering wheel was visibly shaking back and forth. I thought that was very strange since I only changed the shocks out. I also changed my tcase and diff fluids to a much thicker 85w140 and that created a noticeable amount of extra resistance. So I thought maybe this added resistance was putting more stress on my OEM non grazeable drive shaft. So I changed that to an HD and replaced the steering damper. Now I still have the wobble but its not nearly as noticeable in the steering wheel. Running out of ideas I jacked it up to check for play in the wheels and my front driver side has play in it when I push on the 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock, it only feels like a mm or two but you can hear a click. At first I thought I didn't tighten the damn lugs but no, they are on very tight. So it's the hub right?

Have you replaced your panhard rod bushings?

And the hubs we sell are new-Genuine Land Rover, they are $549, HUB ASSM FRONT w/SENSOR DISCOVERY II, RND676, TAY100060 - Land Rover Parts | Rovers North. The ones you see on ebay are likely aftermarket or used. We also have aftermarket versions of them at $379 HUB ASSY FRONT W/SENSOR DISCOVERY II, PLD676, TAY100060 - Land Rover Parts | Rovers North

Thanks Zach that sounds better, when you click on the front hub (number 5) from the drivetrain diagram it takes you here: HUB ASSEMBLY RHF w/BRNG 38A (SENSOR NOT, RND485, FTC3226 - Land Rover Parts | Rovers North

Which has a price of $859.95 - I see now if I clicked in the list I get the $549

$379's not bad but I'll take your advice and check the panhard rod bushings.
