I'm managing to get all the things I don't like handled and I'm quite happy with the car. I do still have a shake or shimmy but not a death wobble at 60mph. I've been searching for a good thread to follow rather than just throwing parts at it. The wheel shakes a little but also I seem to feel it in the seat. Still does it in neutral downhill.Seems to leave with a constant pressure as in a turn.
Wheels balanced, nothing out of ordinary. New turbo tie rods... Anyone document a chase? Thanks Kevin |

Have you checked wheel bearing play? Lower ball joint play? Wheel/Tire assembly balance? A bent wheel can also cause a shimmy at freeway speeds. Flat spotted tires can do the same.

Flat spotted tires can do the same. Been there, done that. I flatspotted the front tires on my six conversion on the tail of the dragon. Betty was following me in her car. She was laughing so hard, she almost drove off the road. I spent the whole 1100 miles driving home with the steering wheel shaking in my hands. That sucked. I agree with the test of swapping front to rear. If it gets better, have them all balanced by a high end shop. The tire monkeys at discount tire have probably never seen a lug-centric wheel in their lives, and will put too many uga duggas on the bolts, and not in a proper star pattern. Improperly torqued wheels can cause vibration with lug-centric wheels. |
