original 1932 ford pickup PROBLEM!!

Low tire pressure can contribute to shimmy.

Does your PU have the original front suspension and steering? I was unaware CW Moss had a replacement for the 32 drag link. The originals are fixed in length with all the internal parts replaceable, the two end caps are removable and serve as adjustment points.

I had the death wobble on my 34 pickup, put a steering stabilizer from Speedway on wobble gone.

While it might help mask the problem, it certainly doesn't address the problem.

well guy's it was a worn out trailing arm, lack of no shocks, plus an inch tow out .runs straight as an arrow now! thanks for all the suggestions!humbly john!

 

[jplawman]

got the new shocks and drag link installed found tow was out a 1/2 inch OUCH! AFTER CORRECTING went for a test ride, now let go of the wheel and she runs straight and true thanks for all the input ready for spring driving!

Sounds like a band aid masking a fundamental wear or adjustment issue. When new or properly maintained no stabilizers were required.

We rebuilt everything on our 32 pickups front end. Drove fine and smooth for 500 miles . Out of the blue a violent death wobble, stopped drove another 5 miles and here we go again. Simply i made the mistake of assuming the PO had the correct tie rod length .wrong it was 1”3/8 total out of alignment .
