Well this problem is solved. To recap, we had the steering shakes a 65mph to 90 mph. It would come and go. Checked every nut and bolt, wheel bearing clearance, tire pressures, etc. The fix was balance the tires with the balnace settings for both inside and out side weights applied. The second and most improtant, these cars are not a hub centric vehicle. The proper procedure for tightening the tires is not with an impact. Raide the car with someone in the drivers seat. Loosen all the lugs. Have someone hold the brakes locked. Tighten all lugs to 50ft.lbs. then come back and tighten to factory specs of 94 ft.lbs. It is very important to do this with no weight on the wheels. These ars are Lug Centric.
Hope this helps others with this problem. |
