I have a I-544 with the heavy duty fixed front axle. I noticed that one of the wheels would shimmy while driving and recently found out no movement (shimmying) should be present. I took the steering kuckel out, repacked the bearings, and put it back togather. I did not make note of the position of the knuckel with respect to the steering arm (upper piece with teeth) that connect to the ball joints. I need some help with the following: 1) In positioning the steering knuckel to the steering arm, do you just make sure the wheels are straight and eyeball it? I could not find any marks to help me line it up. 2) How tight should the steering kuckel top bolt be to hold it againt the steering arm. Before I started they were finger tight. I do not want to crush my bearings, but his seams pritty loose. As my bearing all looked good, I think this might be part of the shimmying of my front tires. Also, have you ever noticed as soon as you get one part of your tactor running good (the engin in my case) something else always seams to break.
