Frustrating Shimmy

[hjdca]

Here is a way to check for play that causes wobble. Get someone inside the car to wiggle the steering wheel, then, put your thumb or finger on both the top and bottom joints of the Drag link, and tie rod on both sides. If you feel any movement between the top and bottom joints, that could be your problem. Try the same thing on the track bar, but, some after market track bars have a joint that allows some movement. I would focus on the drag link and tie rod joints.

So after having the shop check everything axle and suspension related, the only thing left was wheels and tires. After Roadforce balancing all of them, it was found that they all needed about an ounce and the driver front wheel needed more work (something to do with balancing in relation to the stem. )
Steering wheel and seat vibration feedback have been reduced by a significant amount. I wouldn’t say 100%, but I’m very happy with the result.
