Too many items running through one circuit. Run separate fused feeds for each individual component, wipers, radio, lamps, etc.

So it should be shock-like. Yeah.

Yeah, makes sense when you think about what the tank is doing there…

I think my dampner dampens OK but really not sure. How does one check?Also not sure how a bad dampner would feel like an unbalanced wheel. 

I like that one. Dig the color scheme. Nice steering wheel. looks pretty presentable. (Take those hubcaps off though)

Amazing! A 71 Beetle is not in the specs any more. Anyway, thanks for the info. I got the shimmies too–been living with them since I got the car. Tried rotating the tires front to back & no good.
