This is the Perentie...rhd with P/S...it's the 4-bolt LR box and the Isuzu pump.
Drove it for a year with no issues and have been very happy.
On the way back to Iowa last Sept from the Solihull rally in Moab and I began to notice some extra play in the steering wheel to the ground connection.
Wasn't much of an issue in town, but un-nerving on the highway.
Put it away for the winter and guess what, it didn't fix itself.
I've looked at wheel bearings / swivel tension / all the rod ends and all look good.
Did replace the track rod bushings...they weren't too bad but the fasteners were totally inappropriate and non-matching!?
Lift the front tires off the ground and there's 10-15 degrees of play in the wheel...not terrible by my estimation.
Drives like there's no caster...hey, maybe that's it....bushing deterioration????
Any contradictory thoughts before I order up some radius arm bushings???
Ah, and now the OE or poly debate... ???
Thanks
Keith
