Default Test Drive 3/18/05

Update 3/18/05

Had the calipers rebuilt, installed new rotors with all new bearings and races.Checked for run out on rotors hub surface and braking surface, checked out good. Got 2 new front wheels, checked out ok for run out both lateral and centrifical. Took them to balance shop had them balanced with Hunter road force machine balanced out good, I even had them put the weights where they worked the best (on the out side, yuk!)

Test drove, steering wheel shimmy still present at 60mph+

Again I've put these wheels/ tires on my brothers car, no shimmy at any speed.

All steering components are new:
tie rod ends
ball joints
Global West upper arms
Global west lower arms
Total Control Rack and pinion
Aligned to Global West specs.
Cant find any play in steering assy.

Im running out of things to change or check, and there are only a few hairs on my head left to pull out.

Any suggestions. Thanks
