Default Re: Steering rumbles while driving! Help !!!

If the tire inflation is correct all around, and there isn't lots of play in the steering gear or other parts, it is likely the toe-in of the front wheels is incorrect. I have seen this in Model A's so bad that the car had to be stopped to get rid of the wobble. If the toe in shows about zero to 1/16", but the shimmy is still there, swap the front and back wheels and tires. If that cures or changes the problem, look for a bent wheel or out of round tire. Tire balance may contribute to the problem, but usually not to a severe degree.
