Looking for mechanic/garage in Poole, Dorset. was created by Rackseng

Hi, I am looking for a mechanic or a garage in the Poole, Dorset area who can help me solve my '07 Jimny "Death wobble" issues. I have had the king pin bearings replaced as well as new suspension shocks all round, usual tyre checks etc but the steering wheel wobble is still there between 45-50 MPH.

My local Suzuki dealership are great for any official Suzuki parts and servicing but I need a garage or mechanic who is able to investigate this issue further. Many thanks in advance for any advice. I've had my Jimny for over 15 years now and still thoroughly enjoy driving it apart from this steering wheel issue.

When the kingpins were replaced were they preloaded correctly? It should be around 35 Newton continuous via spring balance on the track rod bar holes.
