Chevrolet C60s - Front Wheel "shimmy"

[lynx42]

Check the caster. My C60S was more than terrible and I found that the front springs had sagged a bit and the caster was way out.

I machined up a pair of wedges to, from memory, 9degrees and fitted them from the rear. Shimmy gone straight away even with old tyres.

Regards Rick.

Thanks Rick,
I'd not measured the castor as have never needed to consider that on other vehicles I've had . I see the manual says 1 1/2 - 2 inches, so will check
