Ok, 74 that has steering wheel shaking when reaching speeds of 55mph or more. I have changed the tie rods, struts, ball joints are good although I have new ones standing by. Front wheels are getting eaten on inside of tire. I wasn't able to check alignment due to the alignment tool was broken at the place I went, but they will have a new one in the next few days. I will take it back to recheck. Everything is tight and can't figure out why it is doing this, so far. Before I left we, rotated rear tires up front, but it still has the shaking, not as bad but there. Tires are dead on balanced and they are new. 4000 miles on on four.
What do I look for next? Thanks for your input. |

You are getting good advice. You need to take a step by step approach and make sure the whole front end is right and tight.
Get the alignment done at a shop that knows Porsches, and go from there. Those guys look at front suspensions all day and should be able to find the problem. FWIW the best way to get your tires/wheels balanced is on the car. There aren't many places left that will or can do it, if you've never seen it done before it's pretty impressive how smooth it can be balanced. I'm guessing bad alignment and bad balancing. |
