stumped on 50-60mph shimmy
Ok, I've changed my bushings, stab links, front shocks, and had my wheels aligned already.
Now the 50-60mph shimmy is back. Although above or below this speed, no vibrations at all.
What else could be wrong? A few E34 owners here in the Phil say that this is really the problem with the E34.
Could the Thrust arm itself be the problem, and not just the bushing? Could the lower control arms also cause this?
Are you 100% positive the steering is tight?
After new thrust arms, end links, struts, My d**ned shimmy has returned, too.
SO.....I got "up close and personal" with my steering linkage and found my driver's side inner tie-rod end has some play in it.
I will address these, next:
- replacing the driver's side inner/outer/adjuster sleeve as a new unit.
- front end alignment next.
MAN, I hope that fixes it.
That shimmy is getting just plain tiresome.
they do an inspection two and at the most they might drive round the block.....
not at 90 km/hr (or 55 mph) on the highway.if you tekk them you have the shimmy they should be able to tel you how to fix it if they are truly experienced bmw techs
