	I wouldn't have thought of it either, but it bit me on my '71.

	I found out about the ordinary adjustment; adjusted it, and it
didn't wobble over train tracks any more.

	Then it got loose again; adjusted some more.

	Eventually, it couldn't be adjusted any more.  Bentley says
"replace axial thrust rings when you can't adjust any more, as they're
worn out."  I looked for them, couldn't find at parts places (of course). 
Paid too much for a trashed front end, extracted its axial thrust rings. 

	Took my upper torsion arms off, and found perfectly good axial
thrust rings on the car!  That's when I found the banged up dimple...

Cheers,
