Re: 1928 Front End Shimmy

I had the front end alignment checked and it passed with flying colors. (Everything is within the specs, per the service manual:toe-in 1/8", Castor 1 deg, Camber 1 1/2"). I tried weight in the back of the car (150lbs) to no affect.

I was told by a mechanic tonight (car show) that the tire might be starting to fail from the inside or similar to what some other folks have suggested that the tire(s) may be out of balance.

POA: move the back tires to the front. if shimmy still exists, try balancing tires. Suggestions are always appreciated.

Thanks,
Gar
