Death Wobble Fixed!

After watching the video from Paul Shinn on Toe-In adjustment I bought the tool and gave it a try. It worked beautifully! No more shake & shimmy! What a relief! Now onto the water pump......the lights that blink now....the fluids that need changed....maybe a tune-up.... This car is coming along!

Fortunately the car was restored before I bought it. The body looks great, but the mechanicals were.......iffy.....

In or out ? Either way thats a lot ! I'm surprised the tires survived that.

If in it would probably handle somewhat manageable , but, if out it had to be all over the road

It was to the right. I'd have to look to see which way that was.

I would say in, but it was hard to tell by just looking at it. The tires weren't weirdly worn. They all look pretty good except the right front looks to be wearing evenly and more.

I was experiencing the same issue and after seeing this video, ordering the tool he demonstrated, a 100% improvement and elimination of the death wobble.

Thanks, but I cannot find the exact one that deals with the front end.

I wish I could share the link. His name is Paul Shinn. I bought the tool through O'Reilly's.
