This topic is a good one,
I was involved with John right at the beginning.
I have now got my truck back on the road, and yes I too have a shimmy!
and wheel balance issue.
just over 30 mph wheel wobble starts, compounded by shimmy.
Working on the same theory as the rest. part by part.
Steering box, done
Azle, pivot, and wheel bearing, done
New tyres
Drag link and track rod done.
Tested shock absorbers, damping good.
Stuff that is not seeming quite right.
The tyres, big difference the higher the pressure, they don't seem as perfect round as I was expecting, haven't had them balanced yet (two faults here)
Slight play in shock absorber ball joints
Lateral movement on leaf spring rear shackle lower mount.
I have removed the springs, the bushes and pins are worn and need replacing, now my question, the original bushes (C15A, 1944) are bronze,
the ones from LWG are steel, which is correct?
