    Red face 85' 200x wobble

    HELP MY BUDDY!!!

    He just put 3" rear spacers on each side. He took it down the road and the front wobbles back and fourth continuously. Any ideas on what it could be? I'm pretty sure he needs new bearings...am I correct?

    Sounds like new bearings would fix the problem

    I would have to say bearings would be your first logical step,did he have the front end apart or anything like that???(maybe something not tightned back up)?

    Take the spacers off, and see if the problem is corrected.
    Buy American! Unless your only option is a HARLEY.

    A customer walked in to my shop and Impatiently stated "My car doesnt start, Whats the problem?"I responded with a smile-"Yep that sounds like your problem alright"----

    Jack the frame up on blocks and spin the wheels.. look for wobbles.

    if your spacers are not perfectly centered or straight.. = problems.
