Just took a run to dunkin donut world and on the way on a rutted, bumpy paved road at 45ish after getting jostled a bit by the bumps and grooves...it happened Scared the s*** out of me and I don't think the dog was none too happy about it either. The soccor mom in the mini van behind me was a little taken back by the antics as well. Good thing no one was coming down the other way as I took all of the road to get it settled down. First order of business is some clean shorts
Its a new to me 76 40 with a 4" BDS lift & 31" cheapo tires. It rode like a bucking bronco due to the 0 (zero) shackle angle. Which was my first order of business to correct. I relocated the frame to shackle mounts so there is near a 45 degree angle. It rode much much better (also had to flip the shocks right side up ) and has allowed me to attain greater velocities than before, when it was basically damn near undriveable. It wanders a bit so I've order up some 4 degree castor correction shims....which may solve the problem. I've taken a quick peak at the FAQ and thank God there is a sticky for the "death wobble". I'll be checking each and every item in that thread as I do not wish to repeat the wobble....nor does the dog.
