Default Re: Front end shimmy

1. To save time, first, go to "Search" above.

2. Second, scroll down and click on "Advanced Search" and enter "Wheel Shimmy".

3. Third, under "General Discussion", scroll down and click on "Model A".

4. Fourth, jot down the many different items on your front end that can be checked in lieu of just your tie rods.

5. Fifth, again, to save valuable time, helps to have two (2) people ...... one in driver's seat moving steering wheel back and forth ...... other person observing "every" moving part of the "entire" front undercarriage assembly, wheels, king pins, and steering rod & steering assembly for loose play which may be found "anywhere" ...... even where "never" expected. Try with front wheels on garage floor and try also with front wheels lifted.

6. Remember that after 8,000,000 responses from 8,000,000 Model A owners, all hundreds of miles away, none of us can see minute loose movement that only you can observe in your garage.

Hope this helps to "quickly" correct your steering problem(s).
