Hi Volks: I have this shimmy in the wheel, when I am driving - and no, it doesn't get worse when I apply the brakes. It jiggles the front end, and my dog hates it. We can't have that! I suspect that it is caused by a slip of a tire belt, ..a tire separation. (Continental Contacts) I'm perfectly willing to replace the tires if that's what is causing it, (tread sep) but there's a fair amount left on them, so it'd be a waste if that wasn't the problem. I know what to look for, but I just can't see a bulge or out-of-roundness. (Doesn't mean it's not there, though) How can I tell if it's my ball joints, tie rod ends, sway bar clamps or just my tires - or something else? Thanks guys!
