    C1 Front end wander

    The temp in NH hit 60 degrees today so I took the 59 out for a ride. I noticed that when I turn to the left on a slight curve I have quite a bit of front wheel squeal. I am also noticing a slight flat spot when I turn the wheel left about the ten o'clock position. The inner steering gears seem to be okay when I turn the wheel when stopped no noticable flat spot. Is it possible I could be hanging up on something else,third bearing, tie rod etc.. Also, when I hit the brakes I'm left, right and anywhere but center. however, the dual quads really push her along. Thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

      If you don't turn up anything there, check the A arm bushings and king pins. Sounds like you have something loose.

        When you hit the brakes it could be rust on the drums. As you use it more it should wear off. You can remove the drums and clean away excess dirt, rust and any brake shoe wear, it should speed things along.
