At slow speed when going over bumps or rough pavement I sometimes get a bad
shimmy in the front end. I notice the drivers side tire wobbling.Ican
cover the same pavement in 3rd gear and at a faster pace and not have a
problem at all. Wheel bearings are adjusted correctly, a new bellcrank
repair kit installed, and I can find no looseness or sloop in the steering
system at all when checked with both wheels on the ground or jacked up. I
don't have any movement in the kingpins that I can see even after applying
upward pressure under the tire with a metal bar. Can worn shocks cause
this also? If on a fairly smooth road, I have no problems at all at any
speed. Any suggestions or advice? Thanks in advance, Gary
