I have just finished doing a service on my 1930. One of the things I did was to tighten up the two radius ball nuts. I checked a lot of the books and previous post about the proper procedure and found a bunch of ways to do it.. The reason for this was I had a slight steering wheel shake between 50-55 mph. I tightened the nuts until they hit the sleeve and then backed them off until I could insert the cotter pin. I drove the car and the shake was gone. My question, is the procedure that I used the normal one that is used?
Thanks, Steve
