    After going for a ride (and wobble) on the highway I
    finally got into the front end of my Range Rover.

    Preload? What preload? It didn't have no steenking
    preload....

    4 pounds one side, and the other wouldn't register on the
    scale I used. I removed 2 bolts to free the top pin, then 2
    to pull and remove the caliper. Per advice from a trusted
    source (hi, Eric!) I set the preload to break at 12-14
    pounds (spec is 7-14, but was told higher is better).

    MUCH nicer....no more wobblies, even after going back over
    the same ground that had set it off earlier in the day on
    Saturday.

    I did end up replacing the second tie-rod end - when I got
    the wheel off on that side it was showing a wee bit of play
    - nothing significant, but as I was in there I decided to
    make it go away.

    Total parts bill: 2 tie-rod ends, one stabilizer...and a
    Rangie that drives like it's on rails.
