Hello,
I have been trying to diagnose a steady-rough Shimmy
around 70mph+ - 80mph+/- . This occurs on any
surface, rough or smooth Hwy.
I played around with the Both Tires, checking the
Inner and Outer Tie-Rod. With no weight on them, they
seem fine. I know, I know, I need th cars weight to
propperly tell if they are gone.
I also thought about it, it could be wheel-balance,
but this shimmy doesn seem consistent with a wheel
that is out of balanced.
I also think it can be the Rack&Pinion. Is there a
slight stiff Hydrolic play when turning the wheels by
hand? or is the Gearing loose inside? I think
there's only about 1/16th of an inch play, but this
may be normal..
Any ideas gang? Thanks a bunch! :)
-John
