here my update on my wheel shimmy problems. I had bad wheel shimmy when going over bumps. ive replaced the pitman arm , sector shaft, sector bushings, and both steering arms. all the balls were bad. it drives great now no wandering and no shimmy. thanks for all the advice . I was able to do this myself. john

Hey Mitch:
I'm in the middle of installing new pitman, rebuilding tie rods/drag link using teflon, and some work on the steering box.
I'd like to schedule an appointment for an alignment...how soon can you get here? I have a 1956 Coke machine in the garage filled with beer. (10 cents)

John's Service, in town, charges $70, but he can align a wagon if you can roll it in, he's been doing it for like 60 years.
He's the only one allowed to take a wrench to any of my classics.

Re: update

You now also have peace of mind because you are much safer. Obviously previous owners were not maintenance minded because all those problems did not just happen. Wayne
