my experience has been that improper toe in is the main cause of death wobble !!! any looseness in other front end parts will contribute after death wobble sets in . I set my toe in at 1/16 . I've had model A's with loose king pins and worn play in the steering that didn't have the death wobble as long as the toe in was correct . I also doubt that a slightly bent axle would cause shimmy . Probably most model A front axles are bent to some degree . In nearly fifty nine years I don't remember more that three model A front axles that were found to be not bent after disassembly .
