Passenger front wheel wooble ???

[drpepper1885]

Everyone,

I finished putting my newly rewooded front wheels on today and took my 1917 car out for a spin. My wheels are the non-demountable clincher type and the original hubs are new to my car. I replaced the old style roller bearings with new Timken bearings. I now have a slight but noticeable wooble to the passenger side front wheel. The car steered and drove fine in the neighborhood at speeds of 15 to 20 mph. When I got back to the garage, I jacked up the car checked the wheel. It is securely on the axle. The king pins seem fine (very very slight movement was noticed when I tried to rock the wheel. The movement is the same on both front spindles.).

Any ideas as to why the wheel would wobble?

Your thoughts are appreciated. Thank you.

Are you saying it wobbles all the Time except at the mentioned speeds?

All the time.

Did you check your hubs for squareness of the flange before having the wheels rewooded? I didn't and found out the hard way that most of the flanges are bent and need to be trued prior to rewooding.
