front end

[Chuck Ingle]

Looking at purchasing a 26 t bucket pickup, seller tells me the front end gets squrilly when you hit a bump, is this a normal trait for these rides or is it something that can be fixed?

It seems to be normal for a lot of them that have friction shocks and may not be set up right. I wouldn't let it scare you off if you can get a good deal.

Thanks, do you know of any where I can get the info on how to set it up? and is it some
thing that could cause loss of control?

There's "bounce" & there's "wobble" or "death wobble" ....both have been discussed ad nauseum on this forum & many others ... do some searching using those terms & you'll find alot of info..... it can be caused by 1 problem or another or a combination of things....every car is different...

Use the "death wobble" to get a better price then get with Lee and fix it and ENJOY!

To much toe will do that. I have had the steering wheel almost brake my thumbs before.
