Yeah, I know/realize, but some talk as if they have DW any time it's cold, and it's a constant event. Real DW isn't. You might go miles and not have it kick in.DW isn’t a constant event. It gets triggered by the road conditions.
DW is a bad shimmy. It’s just a slang term. Whatever you want to call it, the diagnosis process is the same.
You see several posts over the last couple of years "it's cold, I have DW". It's as if any time it's cold it's happening.
Even my F250 that had it didn't do it all the time. I might drive it for 30 minutes and it would be smooth as heck, then suddenly shake real bad.
DW shakes the steering wheel visibly.
