Well Duh !!!  What else is worn out. You didn't really think replacing only the ball joints was going to get all the shimmy out did you ? :roll:

SC . . . I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but until you deal with that piece of plywood between the strut and the body on the right side, it'll probably always shake and shimmy.   :wink:

I don't recall S.C. ever saying he had a steering wheel. I thought he was still using a pair of ViceGrips on the shaft installed with a axe :roll:  :roll:

Ah vice grips,   funny but sad but true story.    Drinking JD's   we decide to ride our  dirt bikes to places we should not go.  My yamy 100 has Vice grips on the shifter peg due to fault japenses design or something.  so I reaching down to shift while I run a stop sign and BAM.  a Fiat Spider Creamed me ,  LOL what a nite.   stupid fiat.   Sc

Ok does Stupie need seat belts? I bought these dumb non retractable seat belts for Feeb and I am going to change them...Or Justin is, right Justin?
You ever stop to think that the reason Stupie has the problems he has is because you guys pick on him? he has a inferior complex. Poor Stupie :(

Well I don't know Stupies past but I just had my front tires balanced and that stopped the front end shimmy.

I've got a feeling that Stupie is going to shimmy and shake till hell freezes over OR until that piece of plywood between the strut and body on the right side is dealt with.   :wink:
