Wheel Wobble
nerner333 - 5/19/01
I have been driving my "new" Crosley truck for about 3
weeks now. As I become more acclimated to the characteristics of
driving a Crosley I have become a bit aggressive. Today I was
cornering at a speed that some may consider a bit brisk. I hit a
tiny irregularity in the road and the front end began wobbling
wildly until I slowed (quickly) to 8 to 10 MPH. The wobble stopped
and as I carefully accelerated, every thing seemed to be fine and
normal. Anybody know what I experienced? Is this common, or are
there some worn parts in my front end? Brian

The only time a straight axle will go into a wobble is if
there is something loose in the steering that will allow the
steering to modulate back and forth. Check your tie rod ends, and
steering box for play. out of balance wheels can trigger that
wobble also, but mostly a pot hole or roughness in the road.
