I have a 1971 dune buggy. 5 lug, king pin set up. Around 20 to 30 miles per hour I get a real bad case of the wheel wobbles. I am new at this. Any ideas on what I need to do to correct this. It has no steering dampener. I drove it again and it seems to be in the steering gear. Does it need to be adjusted or replaced? Thanks for any information that you can give.

1. Check the front tires for damage.
2. Check the front end components (king pins, tie rod ends, steering dampener) to make sure they are in good shape.

Had a '72 Beetle that did that, had a bent rim on the front..... Everything checks out ok up under the front might run it up to your local tire shop and see if the front wheels will balance out.....?
