Re: 1928 Front End Shimmy

We checked leafs and u bolts by inspecting them on a hoist. Everything appears OK and in working order.

The mechanic stated that he has put 2 degree shims on the king pins and used a strut to resolve the shimmy issue. Not keen on the 'work-around'.

I don't want to confuse the issue but while driving in a parking lot, I also noticed that the if I make the steering wheel go to the max on the right/left the wheel does NOT return back to the center. My other Packard's do but they are 1940s era...

(Owen-per your suggestion I looked for the part illustrations but couldn't find the correct image or I am looking in the wrong manual...)

Thanks
