Chevrolet C60s - Front Wheel "shimmy"

[cordenj]

I dropped the front axle and found that a previous owner had installed very small wedges....so clearly the castor angle has been a problem before.

I fitted the 3 degree wedges and then had to wait a month while a had the master cylinder rebuilt and brake hoses remade.

I've put up photos here, as while there is a lot of talk about wedges on the forum, I'd not found any photos of the job in progress.

So tonight was the first test drive with 3 degree wedges fitted.....and?

Made no difference at all! Bit disappointing, hit a small bump in road and got violent shimmy.

All I can do now is drop the axle again and try to 6 degree wedges to see if that works over the weekend.

It feels like I should be getting somewhere with this, especially as very small wedges had been fitted before
