Spoke to Ray Munday afterwards. He suggested;
- Check rear shock preload are not uneven
- a hub bearing could be an issue.
- Rear shocks set unevenly someway.
- Cracked arm
All look OK to me. Maybe it's the diff, but that feels smooth and normal. Once the buggy is at speed it's tracking ok.
What's your suggestions to troubleshoot. I'm thinking;
- Test shocks and springs on shock duplicator.
- Rebuild shocks
- Clean hubs, test bearings
If no good after testing I'll have to just rebuild the entire drivetrain, cleaning everything as I go.
Has anyone ever experienced and problem solved this issue. I have a very slight gut feel it may remotely be related to steering issue. But probably not, it tracks fine on the car park. Actually I can't seem to replicate the problem on the car park.
Need to solve before a big meet in 3 weeks time. Helpppp please?
Ray Munday has some good suggestions. Make sure you also have your shocks pressurized the same or as close to feeling the same as possible.
