    Hi all
    When I pick up speed in the 135 the front wheels and steering wheel wobble like mad when I slow down its grand.
    I changed the bearings I n the wheels but the wobble persists

    I was looking on YouTube for what to do next
    They reckon the king pin could be changed but there's not great video on it
    Would changing the king pin bearings solve the problem
    Thanks

    Cant answer as I got mechanic to do it long time ago. You'll have to strip and see which is loose.

    Jack up front and check for wear in pivot pin, balljoints and King pin, bearing in the bottom of the king pin
