First, they are not used on 29's but were used on later models wheel because of a shortage. Second, he said the washers should be used on a slightly worn wheel on the holes that are "slightly worn. He said I should take them off and install the lugs without them first. If there is one or two that are slightly worn then use a washer so that the wheel gets tight. Torque the wheels to 64-foot LBS and make sure there is no play between wheel seat and lug. People have used washers on all, though not recommended. If you do that then you should torque your wheels frequently to make sure they are snug. I personally, on any wire wheel new or old, would torque them every 500 miles. ANY looseness especially if you use washers, will need to replace the wheel. This all new to me, so I am sure they'll be opinions and I will respect them either way. Thanks again all. |

A band aid. Model A's do not need stabilizers.

Re: Bad Wheel Wooble and fix
I would check the rims for run-out. You should try for about 1/8" to 1/16". Also check the Caster. it should be 6 or 7 Deg.s. A magnetic protractor works great for that. Since your a mechanic you probably have one. Check the ball mount on the front wishbone to the Transmission if it's loose and the casters low then you can add a shim in there. The model A suppilers have them. I always like to check the basic's first. Also check and see if the rims are round. To straighten the rims I've mounted the bent rim on the rear of the car and then using a small bottle jack from the frame against the rim at the low spot gently ease it out. Keep spinning the rim and jack the low spots until the rim runs true. That's one way of doing it. Hope this helps. JP
