I’ve been doing a bit of freeway driving lately and I have a weird steering wheel shimmy, noticeable between 60-80 mph. The strange thing is it dissipates after about 5 seconds, the returns about 5 seconds later and continues like that. There is no accompanying wheel vibration or shaking, just the steering wheel. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
73, 1.7, all stock, slightly lowered by previous owner. |

Lots of good suggestions and I suspect the answer is in there somewhere. It's really a process of running down the checklist and arriving at a diagnosis by elimination and discovery. I would only add that I would start by swapping the front and back tires and seeing if that eliminates the problem. If it doesn't, on to the next thing. If it does, you have a bad tire or wheel. Won't cost you a thing (except time) and you've quickly eliminated two potential causes for your problem.
