Well, finally got my front seat back from my upholstery guy. And took out my SF for it's first real text ride.....had a couple hiccups....

First one....driving through the country, came up to a yellow light kinda quickly...brakes pulled hard left...I mean really hard...wasn't expecting that...to assuming I have some gpbrake adjusting to do.

Second, at about 50 mph....car is doing the shimmy two step.....lol....the wheel is shaking and letting vibration....??? Not sure if it could be the drive line?, alignment?, wheel out of balance???

Third...at lower rpms, like at a stop light, my alt. light comes on..then when I accelerate, it goes off...so not sure if that is normal????

And lastly, I caused about three accidents from people rubber necking to see the car...haha, one car actually stopped after making a turn to see it and almost got rear ended!!!!

Any insight would be appreciated.

Glad you can finally enjoy your Sport Fury!

Do you have the drums all around or did you swapped them for discs on the front?
If you have drums it's most likely adjusting the shoes. It can be a real pita!

I would have the front wheels balanced if it's shaking in the steering wheel. Do the rears as well just to be sure.
Hope you can take care of some (hopefully) easy fixes!
