I’m not sure where to start with this and would appreciate some advice.
I am currently touring South Eastern Europe off-road. Done about 1200km so far with approx 2000km left to go. Tracks are predominantly loose gravel but often very rough with large stones.
My steering issue is only noticeable when descending steep rough tracks either using the brake or engine braking to hold speed around 5mph. As the front wheels are going over the bumps I feel noticeable play in the steering. When I stop and turn the wheel there is no play. There is also no play when driving other surfaces.
Be good to know where to start with this. Pretty sure it isn’t wheel bearings. I’ve no other symptoms and rebuilt axles just before the trip. Haven’t jacked it up yet but there doesn’t appear to be any play in the ball joints.
