Hi everybody,
have a mysterious suspension problem. Sometimes on a bumpy road the car is shaking a bit side to side. Changed the tie rods to turbo style, mounted bump steer kit, adjusted the toe in to factory spec, every screw connection is fastened. what else can i do (check)? Any body know this problem or the remedy? I am sure it is not the bump steer problem!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_flagge6.gif) |

I chased a shimmy for quite a while...
I changed everything... I found two things. First was the bottom of the strut tube where the ball joint is installed, the round hole that the ball joint slides into was out of round...this created a wobble . The second was simple, but annoying. The rear of the torsion bars has a felt washer over it. It ensures that the torsion bar stays centered. Well, after 30 years, the felt is gone...I replaced it with a rubber washer. This stopped the clunk. Rich |
