I started by jackin em up and spinnin the tires on the front. Nothing. So i went ahead and rotated front to back and back to front. Tried it. Still a shimmy but not as bad. And then the DDUUUUUHHH ah ha moment. Air pressure. All four tires were between 35 and 40 psi. Pumped em up to 50.

Then i took a look at the rear brakes. Out of adjustment from pulling the drums. Adjusted them properly. Pedal is now less than 1/2 to get stopped. Still not stop on a dime but stop on a quarter. Still gonna swap the MC for a dual

Took it for adrive around town. Up to 53 mph. No shimmy. Just the typical tire flat spot shake. And brakes work a ton better now.

Sometimes im pretty stupid and overlook obvious things. Take a break. Come back to it and i can figure it out.

Car show next saturday. Gonna take the truck and trailer. First official show
