you have a coily?

do the swivel hubs (properly!!!!!!!) and fit a steering damper kit

then search Death wobbles, thats the official term and it seems there isnt a real set path to fixing it

This is a pretty common problem. Yes, all these things will help, just make sure you get the king pin shims back in the same way they came out. And also check for play in all the steering joints.

I know i get the shakes over speedhumps if my wheelbearings have come loose or are worn.

I have to keep an eye on them :?

Also could be wheel balance. I went from stockers with wobbles to 33's. I thought i was going to get mega wobbles. But smooooth as. Even with mud in the rims 8)

Leafy's get worn suspension bushes too, but with a coily check your control arms etc.

panhard bushes are the biggest culprit in a coily for death wobbles. there is a lot of force in locating the diff laterally so if bushes wear out they get the shakes!
