Y-Guys:    I put king pins in my ride about a month ago and I now have

          a case of "shimmy"(wheels shake, whatever) when I hit a small bump.

               I set the "toe" 1/8 "In" didn't help....set the toe 1/8 out to cure it

          but now it "pulls" and is wearing the inner tire edge. When I was in the

          4x4 business and we rebuilt Dana 44 front ball joints, they had a threaded

          collar to apply load to the upper/lower ball joints to create  "drag"

          when turning the knuckle side to side.

              My spindle/knuckle is very "free" It will flop back and forth without

          any drag on it. There's no up/down play, king pins tight....

                Suggestions please...I could put a shock-type stablizer on it?
