Death wobble

Ok....got the wishbone ball to pop down. The rubber ball is whole so I don't see a problem. Re-installed everything and put cotter pins in.

Good progress !
When you finish this job and test, let us know it you solved your original problem.


Worth mentioning again:
Check steering box attachment for TIGHT and adjustment !
Check pitman arm for THGHT !

Went to a cruise-in today that was about 25 miles away. We drove on the highway and plenty of side roads with bumps, patches, and a few holes and no wobble. Of course this means nothing as I could have gotten lucky today. Only time will tell.

The ball being loose sure could have been a contributor.

Don't you have a couple of CASTELLATED nuts? DD

No castle nuts. The cotter pins were tight going in. Better than the way it was with no cotter pins. Should be alright. I'll keep an eye on it.

Pitman arm feels tight. Not sure what steering box I have or where to adjust it.
