Shimmy, not wheel balance.


Recommended Posts

Ignore the title! It turned out to be wheel balance.

 

Thanks to Jasper (Tommy), he used that machine listed above and mounted the wheels onto it "lug-centric". He ran a road force test which passed nicely and added a few weights. After tonights test drive I can sleep at ease. The car is smooth as butter up to tripple digits. :flamedevi

 

THANKS JASPER!!

I have been hunting for the source of a steering shimmy since I bought my z last spring. the latest improvement came from replacing the tension rod bushing that was non-existant on the passenger side with a piece of cast pipe from the hardware store. This made the biggest improvement to the problem that got new brake rotters, wheel bearings michelins that were mounted on wheels checked for side and up and down runout, then balanced on a roadforce maching until the readings came back in the single digits.
