Re: 1932 - The Tie Rod Wobble
I guess time will tell then. It is also a reproduction sector shaft so who knows, it may or may not be hardened.

Re: 1932 - The Tie Rod Wobble
If your running dropped axle, big n little tires it would also seem logical that you also changed to 39/40 hydraulic brakes and probably changed to the later spindles as well. If you did change the spindles did you adjust the steering arms to account for the Ackerman Principle? It effects steering and may contribute to front end wobble. Just a thought.

Re: 1932 - The Tie Rod Wobble
I completely redid the suspension on my 32 Cab -- dropped the 32 axle a couple inches (still running a wishbone), new spring, new shackles, original 32 spindles, precisely honed kingpin bushings, original steering (only has 6,000 miles on it), stock drag-link, stock tie-rod, etc.. I have big-n-littles . . . and have never experienced any sort of death wobble.
Maybe I'm lucky, or maybe I just have a well sorted out suspension - who knows. |

Re: 1932 - The Tie Rod Wobble
Control feedback is generally caused by a dynamic wheel/tire problem and then exacerbated by any looseness in the control system or suspension. Most items have been covered.
If a person could watch how the reproduction tires we purchase are made, it becomes evident that the tires can end up with problems just like a core shift when casting an engine block. Most problems are evident when the carcass is inspected coming out of the mold but not always plus road hazards are not always something we worry about after hitting debris or a bad pot hole. We tend to take our tires for granted. Helicopters can get control system feedback during take off or landing. It's called ground resonance and it's very destructive if the operator doesn't quickly correct for it. It's caused by either a rotor imbalance or a tracking imbalance that affects the phase of the blades. Like an automobile steering system, the rotor control system feedback is exacerbated by any looseness in the system or the landing gear that supports the machine as it's taking off or landing. |
