is the arm to the steering box known to be tight right now?
yes, this is about the brake shimmy I posted a few days ago. Get the shimmy from all speeds 90-20, like a bad rotor brcause you can feel it in the brake peddle.
I inspected the front 2 times and everything is tight, wheels dont seem loose like bad bearings...nothing im stumpt.
Today while trying to simulate the clunking noise that you can feel at your feet I noticed at about 2-5 mph while turning left I get a thud nouse that you can feel in the steering and at your feet, nothing while turning right.
I would venture to guess it could be the LSD clutches (sortof) at break away but the shimmy in the brakes is really confusing me here guys.
I inspected the rear and everythings tight with the dogbones being the only questionable part.
Guesses? I just cant figure this out, EVERYTHiNGS good, everythings tight, fresh thrust arms, complete steering etc....

I seriously think I have the same problem.
I sometimes get a nice thud when turning the wheel left at slow speeds.
I also get it when I reverse and stomp the brakes (only the initial brake push after going in reverse).

Have you seen if it does it in the same place on the rotation....
Have you checked engine mounts.... tranny mounts..... tire out of round.... ?
If it cannot be fixed by the dremel or ducktape.. get out the sledge...

I miss my e34
I am sure it has to do with the steering linkage, but where?
