| Almost daily front left wheel shimmy at 35-55 mph. first started about 1991 and occasionally fixed by alignment, wheel balancing, tire rotation, dual front steering stabilizers, but recently the problem has worsened. i am unable to drive the vehicle at highway speed for fear of the wheel shimmy occuring at the 35-55 mph range. when shimmy starts i can turn the steering wheel to the right slightly and the shimmy will go away temporarily. shimmy only occurs while driving straight, or while turning to the left. as a side note the truck does pull to the right, making me counter steer to the left, which is tempting fate with the shimmy.*ak | |||
