Wayward steering.
« on: 01 January 2010, 21:04:43 »

Hi everyone and a happy new year to you all.My shed on wheels has started to behave strangley under braking giving the impression that the wheels are changing direction then coming back again,am I right in thinking steering idlers or is it something else? Thanks once again in advance.

Take it you are reffering to what is commonly called dog tracking.This is a problem im suffering with at the moment on mine,but a few weeks ago on the mot advisery they wrote down front suspension bushes which im thinking is the problem.
