Re: 1928 Front End Shimmy

Folks - I finally resolved the shimmy death wobble!

I had two issues:
1- whoever balanced one of the front tires was off 180 degrees. Yes the added more weight to the heavy side of the tire.
2- other front tire was never balanced. I looked under all of the washer caps and there was not one washer installed nor was there any lead weights on the inside of the rim.

I added air to the tires to take them to 45PSI and drove the car for about one hour. No issues what so ever. Amazing...

Thanks again for all of the suggestions.
