Re: The Death Wobble
I thought we talked about the wishbone before,, maybe not though.. I thought we did because it can certainly be part of a shimmy.. There are two types.. The original is all metal and the ball is 1.5" dia. and when the ball wears the old fix was a fender washer 'warped' into a cup.. It works.. But, now the vendors sell such a washer.. I think most install the washer on the bottom,, but,, I install it on the top because I'd rather increase the caster a bit [ it probably doesn't make any difference though].. The second type is a later style that uses the rubber ball.. The housings for the 2 are different and the rubber ball is only supposed to fit the later type [from what I know, I've never used one],, but,, anything can be forced to fit I suppose..
