Hey everyone,
I have a couple of question's....
Number 1 is car related: Is it bad to drive on a shimmy?? Another word's my car shimmy's bad between 65 and 75 km/h...that whole 10klm/h it shimmy's......If I drive a 70klm/h on the shimmy will it cause more damage and I'm thinking it will potentially wear out bushes faster?? Am I right in thinking this??
Question number 2 is related to this forum: Ok after a couple of attempt's to learn how I still DO NOT know how to put picture's into thread's.....Everytime I try I end up with a URL/Link....Mmmmm get's a bit annoying .....All I want to do is beable to put a picture with my writting....
Thank's in advance and I'm sure I'll thank again....Until then..... |

The shimmy will accelarate wear in the bushings but I couldn't give you any idea of how much.
Images are easy just slap [ img ] around your url. [ /img ] (without the spaces) |

the shimmy will wear your tires much faster as well as loosen the steering rack and potentially reverse any alignment performed. Just drive above or below the shimmy. |

yeah the shimmy is a bit of a biach. its mostly just rack and bushing wear from what i gather, mine doesn't really go away. infact sometimes its around when i'm doing 40km/h. I have intentions of replaceing the whole steering rack and front end bushings as soon as i can get the time and money... i might even put in power steering while i'm at it... |

I want to do the same....give my car a full front ender.....Besides the power steering....I love the feel of no power steering....more of a real 'direct' feel.....I know what my car's doing....but power steering would be nice..... |
