[Shotimes] Shimmy

[Kirk Doucette]

Cold be a worn CV axle, my 97 did that then decided it no longer wanted to
be together, so it got divorced at 70 mph.. Not a good thing..

And now its doing it again, I know why though.. My car is lowered to far and
the inboard joint is collapsed and overheating.. Got my new axle today and
sending it out to be shortened tomorrow.

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
