I have noticed a front end shimmy around 45 to 50 mph any ideas as to what would cause this?? It is a side to side shimmy not real bad but noticeable.

Bent wheel.

Dynabeads balance the wheel, and may even help a little with bent wheels, if my car is any indicator.

Check the spindle bolts.

Remove cotter & nut from spindle bolt, turn down bolt, re-Nut & cotter. Worked for me.

45 - 50 MPH is too fast to drive a Model T. Be sure your life insurance is paid up.

LOL I was going to say something like Royce did.:-)

31 mph was fast enough for me.
