3. Loose bearings in the wheel.
If you have a single fork system, the wheel has a single bearing,
that is a special pre-loaded bearing, with no play. Replacing it
with a similar numbered bearing ( but not special preloaded type)
results in play in the wheel to bearing , and results in shimmy.
Replace bearing with proper pre-loaded bearing...See page # 40
Ercoupe Service Manual, para4, last sentence. "This deep groove
preloaded......"
Hope the above helps...

Harry, or anyone,
Got any idea of where to find said bearing?? We looked for one, and
they seem to be unobtainium... any ercoupers out there have any ideas?
Thanks,
Glen
