    Default Wheel Shimmy on turns

    Hi all!
    Any ideas why my steering wheel would shake when going around 40mph on a curved road? No shake when going straight though. I had the wheels balanced and they're ok. I had my thrust arm bushings replaced recently - could this have anything to do with it?

    Thanks,
    Philip

    were they torqued under load?

    did they check for play in the steering linkage while they were down there?
