Re: Lost My 65
Another I just remembered from doing it before is to keep the draglink level and parallel with the front crossmember.

Re: Lost My 65
As I guessed, everything aligns with the original, I just need to raise it some to get the draglink level.

Re: Lost My 65
Well it still wobbles.
I'm going to try changing the wheels. . Also, it pulls to one side when I hit the brakes, and then jerks back the other way when I let off the brakes. They are power disc brakes. I could understand if they were drums and I needed to adjust the shoes, but I don't know what to adjust with the discs.

Re: Lost My 65
Found this for it pulling while braking:
Quote:
Another said if the left hose is collapsed, then it pulls to right when braking with disc brakes.

Re: Lost My 65
And a caster imbalance can cause a pull under braking too.

Re: Lost My 65
I guess the confusing part is it didn't drive like this before. Definitely no wobble.
I'll keep trying things. If changing the wheels gets rid of the wobble, then I'll feel like I'm making some progress. But hey, it starts and runs nice.

Re: Lost My 65
Changing the wheels didn't change things one bit. I'm taking a break on this for awhile, but I'm thinking now it may be the front wheel bearings. I'll hopefully have time this next weekend to look.

Re: Lost My 65
Went to take my truck for a drive after several months.
I thought wow, how good the brakes were. I forgot I put a booster behind my drum master cylinder.

Re: Lost My 65
Did you get the front end wobble solved?

I got a little tired of trying to figure it out, so I put everything back on the 62 frame. I don't like my 65 becoming unusable for too long. I'll probably give it another try next summer. I'm less tolerant of Portland's cold weather as I get older. I need a heated shop.

Re: Lost My 65
I understand the weather thing. I spent too many years dealing with that. I'm glad I got away even though I'll always have a connection to the NW.
