front end shimmy

[351mach69]

I have a 2009 v6. I replaced the tie rods, put in new struts and added a strut bar brace an D I still get a shimmy above 70 mph. Maybe t he lower control arms. What do you think?

 

[Noobz347]

Is the shimmy speed dependent or RPM dependent?

 

[351mach69]

Well,what the car is revving at 70. About 2200

 

[Noobz347]

Does the shimmy increase and decrease with the speed of the car or the RPM of the engine/drive train?

In other words:

can you reproduce the shimmy in any gear at different speeds (Ex: 1st gear @ 25 mph and again in 2nd gear at a higher mph)?

-or--

Does it start at a certain speed (ex: 70 mph regardless of what gear you are in)?

-or--

Does is stop/start in a speed range (ex: 50 mph to 70 mph regardless of gear)?

-or--

Does is start/stop in an rpm range (ex: 2000 -3000 rpm regardless of speed)?

Only at speed, about 65-70

Things to check:

wheel/tire balance and condition/warp
hubs and bearings
tie rods and tie rod ends
bushings
struts

...and anything else I've forgotten. Hopefully others will chime in. @Mustang5L5
