I consider we have still a lot to learn about these wobbles and that it must be a combination of different things, because it is only a small percentage of cars that develop it. If we go back to the original lean of pivots it means that we must find some other means of preventing low speed steering wobbles on existing cars. I am going to take the cams off the bumper drums and try to see if we can get a steering wobble on there, we ought to be able to do it. If we can it should teach us a lot because we could watch exactly what goes on, and also be sure of getting the same conditions for any comparative tests. E.H. | ||
