Default Re: Hints on solving front end 'wobble'..

When everything else fails....don't fight with physics, much like Mother nature. There are a lot of trucks out there with solid axles that have a 'Steering Dampener'. Guess the design engineers could not figure out why on the same vehicle, one had shimmy and the other not. Even had one on my old '75 Eldorado...many moons ago. Also, 50 years ago now, could not get rid of the same railroad track shimmy, no matter what I did. Guy at the auto parts then, when we had knowledgeable people behind the counter, sold me a Volkswagen steering dampener. Problem solved....it's still on the car and driven close to 100,000 miles. All the 'Hot Rod' shops sell them now.....wonder why??...no questions asked...IT WORKS, and you will never feel that it's there. Robert
