94 70K miles... My steering has started to shimmy just a bit so I took it to a local repair guy. He told me the wheels were OK and the front end was tight. He thought the problem could be the front drive axles need to be replaced ($560.00). He said I was in no danger if I wanted to wait until it got really bad. What do you all think? Thanks, Bruce
I'm not a mechanic but a front end shimmy would likely be one of two things: 1. Wheel out of balance, 2. Loose ball or tie rod joint. I cannot see how the axle would be the cause unless there's something funky going on with the CV joints.
