When I re-read this I realized that it was poorly stated.

While many people will use 28 psi all around because it is easy to 
remember, this is WAY too much for our front tires, which have 
virtually no weight on them. 18-20 works very nicely, gives good gas 
and tire mileage, and good roadholding.

Russ is right that another possibility is the upper front torsion 
bar. The set screw on the left side might need to be tightened. If 
this is loose it is important to tighten it quickly before something 
wears to the point where it is no longer fixable.
