Crazy shake in steering

[Cwatto90]

That would be my fault I thought my flogged out bushes in my front end were the cause of it all. I asked them just to change all the bushes. They changed the bushes took it for a test drive and the problem never arose for them.

[YEH RIGHT]

I had this issue on our old 2005 BF XR6, was the brake booster rod adjustment, if the issue pops up again that'll be it

 

The steering would shake pretty violently from no reason at all, slow down.. stop check tyres/missing wheel weight etc. carry on driving no issue for weeks then randomly it'll happen out of nowhere, slow down, stop.. start driving again no dramas!

 

Remove the master cylinder from the brake booster (can be done carefully without dropping the fluid) inside the booster there's a threaded actuation rod, wind it in 1/4 of a turn (to increase the freeplay)  and should fix, if not wind in another 1/4 of a turn

 

From what I understand there's not enough clearance and the rod makes contact with the master cylinder causing the EBS to have issues resulting in the steering shake, since I did the rod on our car it never did the steering shake again

 

Thanks Google!

Thanks heaps hey. I'll give that a go for sure because it came back again. Everything you describe is exactly that. 🤙🤙🤙

Seems to be a relatively common issue, there's more than a few story's of people being charged 1000's of dollars at suspension places for repairs with the issue only reoccurring afterwards then cured with the rod adjustment

 

I've owned a couple of BFII's since then but they never have any issues

Its crazy man.... atleast I've got a real stiff front end now though! Thanks heaps for your knowledge hey. I've done the rod adjustment just this afternoon and so far so good. Legit just about every time I drive it I get the problem and I've taken it for a few long drives today and its been sweet. Fingers crossed she stays good.

 

Cheers bloke 🤙🤙🤙🤙
