Hmmm. My seven had 2 occurrences of this steering shimmy this week. It's never done it before. On checking I found nothing wrong. What next?

My earlier post where I talked about renewing the drag link springs which resolved the problem. There was no sign of anything amiss with the ones fitted, seemingly, but new ones did the trick

I have found that wobbly king pins where the axle eyes have stretched give this problem. It can be checked by tightening the king pin cotters if there is any wobble. The permanent cure in this situation is to get the eyes shrunk.
