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

It's great to have your problem solved and even a greater feeling when you can accomplish it yourself. Congrats!

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.

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
