Hi Mike. Thanks for the info.

When I acquired the car, it had a bent front axel and evidence of a collision. I sent the car to Ken who straightened the axel and re-assembled the front end. I'm assuming he replaced the bushings if they were needed.

I will circle back with Ken.

King Pin bushings. Had the same problem and king pin bushings solved it. Ken Clark has them.

Greetings

Got my Cabriolet on the road last year. Many miles of 50mph trouble free driving on the back roads of central Oregon. A few months later, driving around 25 / 30 mph in my residential neighborhood, a fierce shaking began in the front end / steering wheel. Had to come to a complete stop. Has not happened again. Front end and steering all set to specs. Any thoughts / suggestions?

Thanks
Jim
