[T3] Front End Shakes

[Max Welton]

I've done this a few times on mine Adam. Exactly the same symptoms you describe.

If you have a Bentley the procedure is in the Front Axle section.

 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.
