Looks like it must have had a death wobble to put two shocks on the steering?
Good looking truck however!

I'd be careful, death wobble typically happens when you hit a bump. Mine were always on the right front! Can't imagine any other reason for that setup but really dig the truck! Congrats!

Ok thanks for the info. If that is the problem what would be the real fix for that? I assume the shocks are the "band aid" fix.

Might just need to adjust the angle of the front end . I think mine was about 7* ,and I could steer it with one finger.

Thanks for the help. It has just about perfect caster angle. And no death wobble. From what I gather the idea was that the shocks were to help the steering wheel return to center after turning. It did not work at all. Just made it harder to steer. Drives very nice without them.

I have 9 degrees and still had to use a shimmy shock to tame down th death wobble. Nice truck.
