Default Re: Front End Shake

Humble short version:

1. Jack up front axle, & place on jack stands -- this is a must do.

2. Get a helper to turn steering wheel back & forth; and to rock tops & bottoms of front wheels while you watch & carefully test different things for "loose" motion -- this is also a must do.

3. Check "everything" you can find in "SEARCH", & "everything" you ever heard about; for example, front wheel bearings loose, king pins loose, steering loose, tie rod not adjusted, etc., etc. -- this is a must do.

4. When you find something that needs adjusting, repair it immediately -- this is a must do.

5. Then check again, like old people, we usually have more than one ailment -- if you are tired by now, wait until tomorrow to do it.

Hope this helps!
