Z-Monster Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 hi everyone, i have had this problem since my project started. i have an rb25det in my 1980 280zx which has had a r33 skyline front brake conversion, factory disc and caliper at the back. i am still running my standard factory brake booster (master brake cylinder). i also have custom fully adjustable suspension, 17" rims all round, 5 lug nut conversion, 2 inch spacers in front, poly bushings all round, rack and pinon power steering conversion and lots more... anywho, my problem is that at high speed, when i step on the bakes my steering wheel judders as if something below is not tight or i have warped discs which i not the case.... i skimmed my discs recently. could it be wheel spacers cozing the problem? even my spacers are customed and fits tighter then a virgin!!! i also have braded brake lines. the last time this happened there was a more severe and violant shake to the whole car but i located a loose bolt to my suspension and that solved that problem... it now a smaller judder which just shakes the confidence out of driving fast. pls shine the light on me coz this **** is just pissig me off.... i have spent a lot of time under my car to make my underpinnings tight.

skipzoomie Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Check all of the steering components. I replaced the steering rack bushings in my Z and the shimmy went away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
