i've been plagued with front wheel vibration under heavy braking. Checked all the usual things (ball joints, idler, wheel bearings) and no joy.
Today i took off the skiny front rubber (23 1/2"diam.) and put the old steel wheels and tyres on. 26" diameter.
Vibration almost disappeared. Could it be that I had too much rake before and the castor angle was put out? The Dart certainly responded better to the thicker, higher front tyres.
