Know someone like you by Drag Link assembly. I've disassembled and have a small problem which is the correct order of the parts. In manual (ord 1804B- pag 161) are all but tenfo doubt if you will placed before the ball.

Thank you so much Wesk. Combinations were many and needed to correct.
I have a little shimmy problem at low speed when there is a bump and I'm trying to fix it. Tires, springs, ball joints etc ... I hope I can fix it.
Currently this clarification helps.
thanks |

In this country the bump induced violent left to right shimmy is called the death rattle. Most common causes are:
1-Loose king pin (pivot) bearings. Not only must these bearings be tight and in good shape, they must also be tightened to a specific spring scale setting for turning resistance.
3-Excessive play in steering system. Most common areas are the steering bellcrank both horizontal & vertical play, drag link play, gearbox play and in some rare cases collective tierod end wear/play.
4-Extremely loose wheel bearings. _________________ Wes K

Hello Maltes,
Is the problem with the drag link solved?
If not, then first solve this for you all sorts of other things with it up!

Maltes,
As i have posted above
Quote: | Most common causes are:

4-Extremely loose wheel bearings. |
The new parts should have fixed your problem if you had them properly installed. IE: proper tension setting of the king pin (steering pivot bearings). Proper setting of wheel bearing play. Proper fit of steering bellcrank shaft kit. (many of the aftermarket kits do not fit well leaving a considerable amount of vertical play.) _________________ Wes K
