May sound daft but have you checked your anti roll bar drop links plus bottom ball joints etc?

leroy22

yes have checked roll bar and drop links seem to be fine when we rock wheel top to bottom theres play between caster and drive shaft rang davies motors for advice they said it would be the hub and in 10 years they had only sold 1 caster so is it possable its the drive shaft? i am at a bit of a loss now but i will check to day again the book says bearing nut has to settings 187 - 220 nmt is it safe to go to the higher setting? help please and thanks again

Depending on the coilovers but this could be the bottom locking ring coming loose, I've had this problem before
