Some, but certainly not all, possible causes of shimmy of the front wheels of the Model T Ford:

(See the Repair Manual for Specs and repair procedures.)

· Loose or worn Kingpins or Spindle Bushings

· Loose or worn ball caps on Pitman rod

· Loose or worn Tie rod bushings

· Loose Steering Arm Nut

· Worn Key or keyway in steering arm or steering shaft

· Loose or improperly installed Steering Lower Support

· Loose or worn bushings in Lower Support

· Worn bushings in Steering gear

· Worn pinion gears or shafts in Steering Gear

· Worn key or keyway in Steering Wheel or shaft.

· Loose Bolts connecting Steering Column to Firewall

· Loose Steering Column Support

· Cracked Steering Column

· Loose or worn rivets connecting steering column to quadrant & gear-case.

· Incorrect Alignment and adjustment of front wheels, that is: Caster, Camber and Toe-In (gather)

• Spring Shackles hanging up in the Spring or Perch Bushings due to lack of oil, corrosion, etc. The result is that when you hit a bump such as a railroad track, the axle is pushed sideways and may start a wheel shimmy. (Thanks, Don Lang.)
