Default Re: The Death Wobble Thing, Brakes

Ok So 5 deg's is what your looking for. I'd check the Radius ball and make sure it not worn. Also that the ball is mounted properly. If the upper plate is worn or missing this will decrease the camber. If all of this is good and solid then you can take the car to a Heavy truck alignment shop that will have the tools to bend the axle.I'd check for worn parts first, then a straight and level frame. If that's all good then go for the alignment work. JP

Just one more tid bit. Got new brake drums and started putting parts together and boing! Had to drive to the Middle of Morgan County out in the middle of Farm country to find a decent machinist with a 50 ton press to swedge the lug bolts in the brake drums! Should be ready Monday!!!! I had thought about just doing it the with a Weld tack of the lug studs to the hub and then slip on the drum. It would work, but not the Henry way! On this, might just as well do it the Henry Ford Way!
