62 front end problem
I'm getting a vertical shake on my passenger side, car tracks straight and this only happens above 60mph. I replaced the tire and wheel but that didn't solve the problem.
What should I be checking?
Thanks!

Make sure that the shock is properly connected at both ends, and if it is, make sure the shock still "functional".
If the shock is non-functional (easily depressed & extended), just a very small imbalance or initial bounce will cause the wheel to start "bouncing" along, like a basketball.

When I modified the drums for my home made HD brakes for the 56, I took them to my machinist that does engine balancing, and he balanced them.
