Pajero Gdi- Instability When Speeding Up

[TURBOMAN]

Hi Guys,

One of my friends bought a Pajero Gdi(98 model) recently and i also had a ride

Very comfortable vehicle,BUT

1.When i speed it up above 80km/hr it went into a side ways oscillatory movement(the best way i can describe that motion) which was little bit hard to recover.

It disappeared when i slow down

2.When turning to the left side,theres vibration felt on steering wheel.

3.abnormal sound coming from front wheel unit when climbing hilly roads

Please give your expert opinions in this trouble

I guess wheel alignment and balancing would solve the problem

Check the wheel alignment and balance as suggested and also the Tyres..... what you described also happens if the steel wires inside the radial tyres

have broken due to age or due to hard driving with insufficient air pressure.

could even be a weak ball joint..

Thanx my friends

The tires are in good condition.

It may be the Wheel alignment or the weak ball joints as you have mentioned.

I will check them

Turbo,

Check the rack ends/bushes + CV joints and Steering joints.

If the engine makes noice in higher rpms then it might be engin mounts.
