Re: [T3] Bouncing front wheel

[Per Lindgren <per.lindgren@c2i.net>]

<x-flowed>I'd start by checking the condition of the shock absorbers. A bad shock 
absorber would give the described effect, especially if it is leaking or 
even empty of oil. With that being said, I experienced a very similar 
problem in a 68 Type 1 once. On this Bug the problem was that the front 
stabilizer bar was not attached properly, one of the attachment fixtures 
was broken. Now, I know that the Type 1 has an external stabilizer, so 
given the construction of the Type 3 front axle, the stabilizer cant 
come undone. I would check the condition of the stabilizer bar if the 
shocks are in prpoer working condition.
