164K on clock, still on air, new Geolander stock size tires/pressures, tracking done, new drag link but it wanders around when running straight. Could the damper need replacing?
Thanks for the clarification. By steering shaft I mean the shaft running through the engine compartment that connects the steering wheel to the steering box. I'm not familiar with the components on the P38, but on my 1993 Range Rover I discovered that part was worn and had excessive play. Thankfully in that instance the replacement was inexpensive and the installation was simple.Thanks! I had the front alignment (track as some of us Brits call it) done after replacing the tie rod and drag link pair. I know the steering box can be adjusted too, but was wondering if the damper was worn, if there was less resistance around the center position (wear on the rod/seals) which might contribute to the lack of feel.
Not yet. Thanks for the tipHave you checked all radius arms bushings?
Good call - I'll check that, tooThanks for the clarification. By steering shaft I mean the shaft running through the engine compartment that connects the steering wheel to the steering box.

Yeah, I had the same thing. With the previous tires which were a road only tread it tramlined. My other P38 with 16 inch wheels and bigger tires has no issues. The low profiles are a bit of a curse I think.check the pressure on your front tires.
before i lowered mine a bit the P38 wanted to wander all over road.
Not sure. I'll have to check with the dealer, because they replaced the factory ones with Bilsteins at some point. I was thinking they might need to be replaced - for other reasons. It doesn't maintain good control over certain bumpsHow old are the shocks?
