Default Spring hanger pins and bushings...

Hi John

As suggested by Richard, when you do the springs have a close look at the spring pins and bushing they can really wear off to a loose oval and I beleive Dirk still has them in stock...... that may be the last weak/loose link.

My worst shimmy experience was witrh a DOdge M37 thast had worn out tapered holes where the tapered tie rod fitted into...... had to replace the whole lower unit of the eggcup. The front suspension got worn that way after one Winter of driving with chains on the front axle. It shook so bad we had to come to a stop whenever we drove across a level rail road track crossing.

Good luck.
