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. |

So, they do actually mount it...
Makes sense now. I got a set of Continental DWS for my M3 a while back. Noticed NO weights on wheels. Pissed off BEAST! Take them back. The Manager advised he toured the Conti plant a while back and they showed him their segmented molds that allow super precise injection of rubber from many points instead of just a few. Makes for tires that are silly close out of the box. I'd balanced the wheels without tires and the balanced wheels plus the stupid close tires made for near perfect balance. 1 wheel had 1/4 ounce of weight on it. Just one!!! |
