It's possible that your 145 front tires are inflated too hard. Since this is not the stock size it's a bit hard to estimate a good pressure for them, but I'd say somewhere in the low 20s. This problem could also be caused by a worn out steering damper or a upper front torsion bar that is coming loose from the left trailing arm. > Hope all is well with all the old timers on the list.
