There has been alot of helpful discussion, advise and suggestion on the topic of wire wheel preference (Dayton vs Dunlop); tire selection; correct tire and wheel balance procedure; front suspension rebuild...etc to diagnose scuttle shake at speed. My AH 3000 BJ7 has this problem and have yet to find and eliminate the cause!
Could it be that when the new front wheel splined hubs were installed, they were off center causing the lumpy ride?
Question: The front splined hubs sourced from Moss did not "look" different from the originals. The new ones have no gooves inside hole nor recesses in the hub face for the stud (studs are spined) and stud heads (so the stud heads do not interfere with the wire wheel).
Has anyone else observed these differences? Are the differences critical to the installation and centering of the splined hub, and if so, what would be some recommendations? Should the hubs be machined with recesses before the stud are pressed in? Does this make a whole lot of difference?
My current thinking is that the hub spines, although in good condition, may not be centered and cause the lumpy ride.
Thanks in advance for your reply. GONZO.
