I can't pin this down. Sometimes at highway speeds I feel a little shimmy in the steering wheel and if I press on the brakes the whole front end shakes pretty bad. The rotors aren't warped because it goes away below around 40-50mph. I guess it kind of feels like one of the wheel bearings is completely shot but with the front jacked up everything feels tight when I wiggle the wheels. It's an '03 4x4 with 69k miles. Thanks for any thoughts! |

have you changed your brakes recently? this sounds like my problem... i changed my brakes, and my front end would only shimmy whe i appiled the brakes around 55-65 mph (highway speed). as it turned out i did need new rotors, the brakes had heated up my front rotors to much and warped them. i also did not notice the shimmy when i was driving around the town, nor when i applie my brakes. hope this helps out a lil bit.. if it is the same problem at least |
