Hi there, just posting this here because I have a 105 series which have same front end as 80 series and thought someone might know the problem.
Car:
1998 LC 105 series with 2" (50mm) OME lift that was installed in 2000 by the looks. Rear and front springs and shocks. (not nitro) Steering dampener which may be the issue.
Bought it in 2019 with this issue, had 33 inch tyres 305/70/16s then however, I have recently put 35s on it 315/75/16. No change in problem.
Problem:
Slight, only little, controllable with little effort, wandering steering problem since I bought it (2019). Wanders when going over bumps on roads, right or left depending on contour of the road. . I would like to fix it. I do not seem to have any play in steering at all, it's all quite tight. So I am thinking perhaps not steering gear box relate, but maybe Steering Dampener related to lift and large tyres. Perhaps a new heavy duty Steering Dampener required perhaps a Tough Dog RTC.
Wondering if any one has experienced this issue. Any suggestions appreciated. Pics of dampener below.
