uhhhh=======================================================================
I have much of the bouncing and the shaking and the very regular periodic vibration right btween 50 and 60 especially appparent on smooth pavement traveling at a steady pace- no vibtration in steering, just the body structure. I've read (maybe fron McMark) that this is indicative of bad ball joints. Does this sound reasonable? Thanks! |

thanks fellers. to answer some Qs,
no looseness is apparent in any direction when a front wheel is liftedand tested BUT this began after I replaced front bearings and rotors. I have retightened the axle nut a couple of times trying to locate this looseness. How tight is right? There is definite resistance to rotation now. but with tire on, if I spin the tire it will rotate a few revolutions. Is this still too loose? It seems to maybe come more from the back, so I'm gonna check CVs. My 73 has hub-centric wheels, but I'm gonna do the flashlight test anyway. I don't think it is wheel balence or roundness since the prob has remained through a tire change (all new Kumhos now), but I may check 'em too. |
