Hi guys, I had a trusted local LBC mechanic replace a few U-joints, along with brake work. Now truth be told my Six is a pretty poor handling and rattley ride but of course I love it. Anyway, I seem

Usually a shimmy at a particular speed like that is tire and wheel out of balance as others have said. I have even had a shimmy around that speed after a wheel balance and since I had a long trip to

Tire balance is really important. So is the shape of the tires and wheels. Make sure there's no obvious runout or wobble with those components. Next, make sure everything is tight. This sounds obvio

A shimmy felt through the steering is normally tire balance or worn shocks/suspension. When you have the tires balanced, be certain to have it done with the trim rings ON the wheels. I had a shimmy

just to add my 2c worth, i had a problem with vibration due to u joints being out. this likely caused the prop shaft to get out of balance, because after new u joints i still had some vibration, noti

Vance et al, Pushing the clutch doesn't seem to make it go away. A quick lunch-time balance/rotation has seemed to help a bit. I need to have the front-end gone thru next year. As I've said before, i

I've always wondered about the exhaust hanger that connects to the transmission on overdrive cars. It's just a metal hangar with no rubber isolation and it's bolted to the rear of the overdrive. Has

im--If you're looking for a quick, cheap fix. check to see if the (front) wheel bearings were left loose. Some mechanics don't get them as snug as they should be. When something's out of balance, the
