Re: [AMC-list] 71 Gremlin shakes at 60...also look at ball joints, tie rod ends, etc.



Put someone behind the wheel and open the hood. Point the wheels straight ahead and get under the car, looking at the front end. No need to raise the car. Have the person move the wheel back and forth while watching the front end. Start at the brake backing plates and moving into the center if there is something noticeable so will see it.
I have spotted loose boxes, rod ends, bushings, etc this way. Now it doesn't replace getting the car on a rack and giving it the ol "rub and tug" but anyone can do this, it is quick and easy, and you will spot a lot of probs safely and comfortably.....Russ
