    Steering wobble fixed

    I've had an issue with steering wobble / vibration on my '70 911 for a long time. The issue is worse around 70MPH. I've had the wheels refurbished, tyres replaced, wheels balanced. All to no effect. Over the weekend I decided to replace the ball joints. Hey, presto. Issue resolved. It was quite an easy job and described in the 101 projects for your 911 book. However, I made a video as all the other videos I watched on the topic either covered it as part of a longer front end suspension rebuild or had incorrect instructions.

    Wheel 1 took 3 hours and plenty of swearing. Once I knew what I was doing, wheel 2 took about 1 hour.



    Take a look (feel free to like / subscribe).
