All the love to your dog! Second thing, the death wobble.. think about a shopping trolley wheel that is flopping to the sides. It has probably been bent backwards. That will make the "king pin" tilt forwards. That is why it s wobbling. This is death wobble. Check your kpi. If the axle tilts less backwards than it should, as it may from lifting springs and or wear and tear on bushings or bent ... what s it called.. bars.. -links! Yes. Just my 20 nkr.. cheers
Yeah mate sure thing, will check out the kingpin bearings, they were replaced 12months ago but with all the off-road work may need thinner shims to take out any play and reset the swivel hub preload 👍🏼. Once I get some new tyres that aren’t so poorly balanced will do a deep dive into the front end. 👍🏼
Are you in the High Wycombe area at the moment. My husband thinks he has seen your rig driving around the area. If so we would love to meet up and possibly do some trips we with you guys. We also have 2 rotties ourselves who love camping.
Hey, yeah we are currently in that area atm. Yes I gather your vehicle is the well kitted white disco, yeah definitely can meet up sometime and organise a trip 👍🏼
When checking play on the NS wheel, you say "that's good", it's not, you have play, it's potentially a cause of death wobble, you also look like play on the drag link to wheel ball joint, looking at OS wheel, you have either bearing or hub issue there too,Done Land Rover's for decades, and I can see issues you might not. Also make sure you show axle stands and not just go under with a jack. A firefighter mate of mine was telling me of a case they recently went to where someone's jack failed, his head was subject to the weight of the vehicle. Be safe not running down a drain. Rule of 9 on the valves, don't jsut do tdc then 1 turn or 180°, it doesn't work well.
Yeah the steering has a fair amount of play due to the steering box having too much wear throughout it. I looked back at it and for some reason it does look like the entire wheel is moving when I’m checking the wheel bearing play, I was doing it more aggressively than I probably should have been, there isn’t excessive wheel bearing play I went back and re checked, these wheel bearings were recently installed and adjusted after 5000kms I have been doing wheel bearings on this vehicle and my county before so that’s more than 10 years and I have never had an issue (I do understand that it looks like there is excessive freeplay in the video 👍🏼). I always place Jack stands if I remove wheels but in this case due to just checking the wheel bearings I personally didn’t find it necessary as I wasn’t underneath the vehicle, but that is a personal decision one needs to make (the vehicle was in gear with the handbrake on, plus flat surface. It ended up being a slightly loose pan hard bar bolt aswell as the poorly balance drivers side wheel, the wobble is gone and driving well. Thankyou for the comment and suggestions I will recheck the OS wheel for any hub issues, this front diff housing was completely rebuilt 16 months ago before we left but doesn’t hurt to recheck 👍🏼.
The Australian manual says for the 4bd1 to rotate clockwise to TDC adjust 1,2,3 +6 then rotate 360 (my bad I said 180) adjust 4,5,7,8 I understand there are other methods just doing what the Izuzu manual says 👍🏼
@@RovingBeyond ok, they must have no overlap at all on them, so little or no scavenging occurs, then you can do that on tdc marks. Rule of 9 for 4 cyl engines guarantees that the valve is free so usable on any thing.
@@RovingBeyond On Stands point; remember you are an ambasador for safety, people see you and other youtuber's go under a vehicle without stands and think it's ok, The statistics in the UK is that on average 16 professionals die every year because they took the wrong "personal decision" about supporting the vehicle. So consider that you may aid someone's death by not having it supported properly. I fully understand the clearances for some jobs, but you are under the vehicle with a wheel off the ground. Consider the remifications and to be fair, always support. I did a cambelt Monday on a VW, wheel off, stand under, even thoughI'm not going under the vehicle at all and it's only 6 inches off the floor. Personal safety is high on the agenda. Regarding wheel bearings etc... Good that you found issues and fixed it. In my experience of a lot of Land Rovers, Death Wobble is a combination of several things usually, and you found more than one issue so that should have got it. I still think the wheel bearings are too loose, as there should not be any visual movement on the hub/wheel area. too loose just means they have a shorter life. Same with the ball joints. visual or non visual movement is bad. but the track bar at the back is the one that really matters. just keep an eye on them on the weekly inspections. 🙂
@@overlandready yeah I have heard the rule of 9 is the best method I used it on my county with a 300tdi swap I’m pretty sure, will give it a go next time 👍🏼
Sorry to hear about Maisey hope she recovers with no issues. I own a Mastiff breed (Boerboel) and although she is trained ( professionally) and I am the the boss she is not at all social with other dogs, we use to go to dog parks when she was a pup with no issues but one day she just changed. On a positive note love your video series have been watching you for ages. Looking forward to more adventures.
Yeah she is ok, healing well. Yeah we don’t ever blame the specific breed as Maisie is a Rottweiler and they don’t have the best name for themselves either (I have owned many and all amazing natures). Thanks for following along on our adventures and hopefully in the not too distant future we can be out and about again 👍🏼

Thanks for watching, She is all good now healing well 👍🏼
Lovely ep
