Front End Wheel Hop

[Dominic Salemi]

Hello Group

Has any one had a slight front end wheel shake at 40 to 45 mph? I had this before I resto mod my 64 Cadillac w/ a LS-3 & 4L65E transmission . We took the body off the frame and disassembled, sand blasted and painted the frame. I replaced ALL bushings and even put in new rear trailing arms. I have Kelsey Wire wheels on the car and many say that could be the issue. I went out and bought a set of steel wheels and new radial tires to eliminate and confusion. I still have this shake. Some time it is worst than others. Shocks are 2-years old and are a basic shocks.

Any help greatly appreciated

Thanks

Do you think back brake drums could do this. I did put disc brakes on the front and left the back with the drums. I had this issue before I modiflied the car. How do you tell if your drums are out of balance?

I put all new parts in the front end when they disassemble the frame. As I mention this was happening before I did the over haul. Yes they put the proportioning valve along with a new MC. It happens 40 to 45 mph and not all the time. I leaning toward a better pair of shocks. I have a friend with the same issue but he does not have everything new........maybe its Buffalo?? lol
