Tony B Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Check the wheel bearings! As for conversion to 12 volt. That isn't difficult as such, kits can be bought, though 6 volt is not that much a problem if maintanied. Do you have the workshop manual? The beauty of Dodges is that they are bult to be fixed with simple tools and common sense. What you will need is the specific tube socket for the bearings.

Tony B Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 It would still help them to have a manual. You can't plug a Dodge WC51 into a computer. :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Before you go to any expense check your tyre pressures, imbalance can cause wheel wobble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
