Since i put my steering damper on my jimny, i now get a wobble at the steering wheel between the speed of 60 to kph after 70 it's fine.

Anyone know what it could be?

Steering dampeners dont fix wobble, they just mask it. Take it off and see if its still there. If it is check your wheel bearings, king pin bearings, steering linkages and radius arm bushs.

i dont think it's the same problem because it's not a constant wobble

Isn't still under wty??

Take it to a Suzuki dealer, it's a known problem & can be fixed with king pin shim's. ( fixed for a time)

Will they fix it because of all the mods?

Still have the std stuff??

What have you done?? Lift & tyre's??

As said, it is a known problem, if one dealer won't do it, go to another, if they won't, jump on Suzuki Aus..
I used to overlook some mod's, others may do the same..

I dont have the std wheels.
