Death wobble

[Tazzieman]

I'm with you, I haven't heard of it to date. Won't be surprised, but who knows.

I think it's been a game of Chinese whispers.
Soon the factory damper will be found to cause autism.

When driving my Ineos Grenadier at around 100 km/h and hitting a bump, it starts to wobble violently
so much that it feels like the wheels might come off. It’s really dangerous,
and I want to fix it. Has anyone else experienced the same issue? The car is a diesel with 41,000 km.

Naohiko-san, on your Instagram there is a post with your Grenadier saying you had fitted 255/85R16 tyres on steel wheels which is unusual (if the translation is correct on the size). Did you have any issue with the brake clearance on the 16 inch steel wheels?

Don't ride in a Grenadier if pregnant, just tough it out and walk?

Just grab the steering wheel by the pussy?

I have never herd of an ineos grenadier having a steering damper failure, apart from impact damage, it certainly has not been mentioned on this forum.
Impact damage is not the fault of Ineos, and people on this forum have been running their Grenadiers with the damper removed with no problem.
A good chance is someone forgot to tighten a component after a wheel alignment, or damage.

I guess the steering damper is more likely to cause autism than paracetamol is Tazzieman, you are a doctor afterall, was it injecting kerosene to cure covid, or something just as corrosive that our lernard American friend suggested in the past.
