Posted July 22, 200618 yr comment_175618 I recently rebuilt the front end, replacing typical wearing parts plus coupling and rack bushings to tighten steering. I installed stock wheels and wheel covers after balancing, I then took the car for a front end alignment. The car is fine to about 70 mph, then it gets a slight shimmy and if I go to 85mph it disappears (or seems to). It was bugging me yesterday so I took it to Costco and had all the wheels balanced again - they found one front wheel off a little and a rear off a fair amount. Rebalanced and took it for a road test, and still the same. Any ideas??

July 22, 200618 yr comment_175622 I had a front shimmy when I got my (florida) car, and it turned out to be the steering rack bushings were so dry that there ws play in the steering. Two new bushings fixed it up right. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/20907-slight-shimmy-at-70-mhp/#findComment-175622 Share on other sites More sharing options...
