Well – at the front only – new tires and wheels balanced off car – and it is fantastic!!!  No shimmy or shake at any speed.

Now the next issue – front end goes light at 140kph, with the hood down!

Thanks mate

Will let you know after my wheel balance.

Here in the UK we do not balance wheels on the axle anymore, which is a pity

Thanks – mine is Ok.

 

But my 1302 LS Cabriolet is getting the 80 kph (50 mph) shakes.

All active (ie ball joints, struts etc) components are new, there is no discernable wear pattern on the tires, and I believe I bolted it all back together again about 1 year ago perfectly OK.

 

It has started from nothing to now, where I am thinking of taking it all apart again – after about 3,000 kms. as it is getting to annoy me.

I am having new tires and balance the steel 5.5” rims later this week.

 

Any known cures?

I would agree with Mike - A bit expensive for second hand. Try MegaBug in Plumstead & see what they have.

 

Mike, I know of an NOS LHD one if you are interested!! (I don't know how much though, but can find out)

That sounds a little expensive if second hand; if new – Can I have it?

Hello one and all.

I have just stumbled across this group whilst searching for a steering
box for my LHD 1971 1302L.

I have seen them advertised for around £200.

Does any one know of a cheaper supplier?

Thanks
Steve
