Panhard rod bushes and serpentine belt

Mileage 141467

The Landy had developed a nasty shake of the steering around 50-55 mph that sent vibrations right through the car. A quick shake of the steering while checking components soon revealed that the panhard rod bushes were worn. New bushes were pressed into place at that cured the problem.

While I was at it I chose to replace the serpentine belt. The Landy had developed a squeak from the front of the engine. I wasn’t sure exactly what was causing it but this was the cheapest and easiest thing to try. The old belt was looking a little perished anyway and fortunately the new belt cured the squeak!
