I've done this a few times on mine Adam. Exactly the same symptoms you describe.<br>
<br>
If you have a Bentley the procedure is in the Front Axle section.<br>

If the upper torsion arms need<br>
adjusting, you can usually feel that with the<br>
weight on the wheels. Pull the top of the tyre<br>
strongly outwards and then<br>
push it back. If there's obvious movement, it can<br>
usually be adjusted out,<br>
but you may need to check the bar is properly held by the<br>
locating screw in<br>
the dimple.<br>
<br>
If that's all OK, is the steering damper bush OK? That<br>
can be the problem<br>
too, and of course, it's possible the damper has leaked its<br>
oil.<br>

<br>
Crew,<br>
<br>
I have a case of the violent shakes when making right turns<br>
and hitting<br>
uneven pavement. Steering stabilizer changed out in<br>
November. I jacked up<br>
the car and pulled on both wheels looking for obvious play<br>
both laterality<br>
and vertically. I did not find anything unusual.<br>
<br>
I do remember something about tightening the torsion<br>
arms..... If someone<br>
could remind me of that process. I did drop the front one<br>
outer spline in<br>
November about the time I did the steering stabilizer. I am<br>
mainly looking<br>
for the places that I start when it comes to the shakes.<br>
<br>
This is a recent problem that came on in the last couple of<br>
weeks.<br>
