papete Member Registered: 05/06/07 Posts: 31 Loc: Lewistown, Pennsylvania	Could not help myself and got the 46 Lincoln up to 65 mph and backed off. The stering wheel bagan to shake and the front felt like it was going up and down but not shiming. I have new tires. What was happening and what is the cure? Thanks.
