[T3] Front End Shakes

[Dave Hall]

If the upper torsion arms need adjusting, you can usually feel that with the
weight on the wheels.  Pull the top of the tyre strongly outwards and then
push it back.  If there's obvious movement, it can usually be adjusted out,
but you may need to check the bar is properly held by the locating screw in
the dimple.

If that's all OK, is the steering damper bush OK?  That can be the problem
too, and of course, it's possible the damper has leaked its oil.

Crew,

I have a case of the violent shakes when making right turns and hitting
uneven  pavement. Steering stabilizer changed out in November. I jacked up
the car and pulled on both wheels looking for obvious play both laterality
and vertically. I did not find anything unusual.

I do remember something about tightening the torsion arms..... If someone
could remind me of that process. I did drop the front one outer spline in
November about the time I did the steering stabilizer. I am mainly looking
for the places that I start when it comes to the shakes.

This is a recent problem that came on in the last couple of weeks.
