D dcv2508 New member Nov 7, 2004 #3 Front end shimmy I most certainly feel it through the steering wheel, and at times can watch the front of the vehicle shimmy side to side. I just don't know for sure what it could be, and don't want to just start replacing various parts if not needed. Could be expensive!! Thanks for the reply! dcv2508

L ldivinag New member Nov 8, 2004 #4 i used to have this on my oem rotors. it was almost clockwork... 8-10 months after i get the rotors turned, it would come back. finally, when they couldnt be turned anymore, i splurged and got some cross drilled brembos. havent had a need to turn them due to vibrations for about 4-6 years now...
