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.....
