was shimming and shakin and I think I finally fixed it. I've gone through re/man axles that are broke from day one(rubber boots split or clicking starts)...got some gck's on amazon that were on sale...returned some of the broke ones back to autozone(keep your reciepts), and when they got some instock, I got a NEW gck axle(don't know why)...anyway, after 5 axle replacements, new bearings, some tierod ends, steering rack...it finally comes down to BENT RIMS, yep...stock steel subbie rims, not the spoke type. Tire guy told me that if you need more than 4 ozs. wheel weight, you are probably going to have some vibration. So, I got all good tires, and rims that need 1oz or less bal. weight, and the vibe is gone...first time in 2 years. I've got les schwab, winter trax, 185x80x13, and I get really good mileage out of them...

Yeah, bent rims suck... And they're not the best thing to have on the front of a vehicle. Really rough on steering components. Good you found it.

 

Thinking I bent my right front the other day. Was going around a lefthand curve and found a pothole the hard way. Now I have a bad shimmy at anything over 60 MPH.
