anyone expierence their steering wheel shimmy when going around a corner around 55 to 65 mph? it doesn't shimmy when going straight or when braking just when i'm going around corners. i have h&r sport springs and kyb shocks and had an alignment done and balancing. it also pulls to the right slightly?

Quite possibly could be a wheel bearing as far as the shimmy goes. My buddy has a wheel bearing issue on his MB sport ute and it goes away and comes back when he turns. As for the pull are the roads you are driving on have a pronounced crown to them or maybe you caught a pothole.

thanks for the reply. the corners are smooth and so are the straight sections. in the past i've had a pretty bad creaking noise coming from the steering rack bushings. the car has 41k miles on it. i do have 18x9 cobra r's and 245/40 up front and 275/35 in the rear.

I got that shimmy on brakeing too. And what does it mean when something in your front suspension makes a poping noise during tight slow turns?
