Old timer here

[Phil P]

Hello all

I am 83 years old I grew up in my fathers heavy equipment shop.

Thru the years I have worked on motor vehicles from motor cycles to Semi Tractors.

I was 40 years in the aviation business both as pilot, mechanic and inspector.

In 2015 I got back in to the truck business by managing an agriculture fleet.

It has been a good 11 years.

Welcome! Man, 40 years in aviation. I'm guessing you have a lot of great stories.

Sounds like classic death wobble been around forever and still catches people off guard. Back in the day, you’d check the usual suspects first: track bar, tie rods, ball joints, and make sure everything’s torqued down right. Nine times out of ten it’s not just one thing but a bit of wear stacking up over time. Folks love to throw a new steering stabilizer on it, but that’s just a band-aid the real fix is tightening up the whole front end so it tracks straight again.
