Re: [DMCForum] Re: wheels shake update...again

[Erik Geerdink <dmcerik@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Rick!
The handling is 100 times better than it was....and 1000000000000 time better than it was before I did the restoration.  I was afraid to take hard turns before, fearing I would break my frame.  Now its time to work on my high idle issue.  It comes and goes.

Hi Erik.

You tires might be unevenly worn from all the previous shaking 
around, if you drove the car far with it in that state.  That would 
be more or less self-correcting, and impossible to balance out 
anyway.  Getting your wheels balanced is still a good idea, but if 
the slight residual vibration at 60mph doesn't go away, non-roundness 
from uneven wear while the suspension was loose is probably why.

Congratulations on fixing your car.

Rick.

reseated the steering rack to make sure.  I did notice that the sway 
bar wasn't torqued down enough.  And also the passenger 
tierod/spindle connection wasn't torqued all the way.  I also 
reseated and adjusted the upper and lower steering column joints.  
HUGE DIFFERENCE!!!!!  It drives like a different car.  My squirely 
rear end is gone, my teeth chattering rattle is gone as well.  There 
is still a bit of a vibration at 60MPH, but after I get passed 65mph 
it goes away.  If anyone has any ideas as to what the vibration might 
be, please let me know.  I'm betting I need to take it to a place 
that can balance my wheels properly.  Doesn't it need to be done on 
the car?  Last time i know it was done OFF the car.
