Re: Front Front shackles 1959

"very slight turn left or right. It seemed to dart so that it needed corrected the other direction"

Maybe a bit more toe or play with front tire pressures a bit?


I'm assuming everything is nice and tight. including rear shackles

Re: Front Front shackles 1959

don't discount the impact 5-10 PSI tire pressure change can have on highway handling, I have had a couple 4x4s that were much happier at 30-32 PSI than 36-38 PSI. And others where it did not seem to impact driving at all. Maybe tire dependent, but it is on my list of things to play with when something is not driving well for no more obvious reason
