FWIW I’ve chased a similar “shimmy”/vibration that only occurs 77ish + mph and seems to get worse with speed. Went through all the normal stuff, 2 different wheel tire combo’s, already have mono bushings so no rubber left at the front end. New paragon brake kit, new bump stops, had the whole front suspension apart and checked/replaced everything while I was there, everything properly torqued/assembled correctly bolts marked, etc. Motor mounts done 20k mi ago by mporium. I gave up for winter…
Had it on the lift at the dealership last week (friends a SA and this dealership is cool as shit). Like 4 of us under it digging, one of the techs was thinking he felt it more in his butt. We finally found some play in the driveshaft U joint. After some discussion we think it’s just do to age/corrosion and it’s sending enough vibration up the chasis to be able to feel in the steering wheel depending on the resonance with suspension/road conditions.
Now to quote my SA. “Do you even want us to price it?” lol. I’ll be taking it down to mporium at some point in the next year and will see what dean and his guys say/let them do the work.
Im just so happy to actually find something “wrong”
