ISSUE:
Front end shimmy may occur at various driving speeds or when hitting bumps in the road. There are several vehicle conditions sometimes
described by customers as shimmy which may not actually be "shimmy". Shimmy, as observed by the driver, is defined as large amplitude,
rotational oscillations of the steering wheel resulting from large, side to side tire/wheel movements.
ACTION:
Inspect the truck and perform the following diagnosis to determine the shimmy's causal factors. Be aware of the following points:
^
Shimmy is not always confirmed during road testing.
^
It is very important to check all systems that can cause shimmy.
^
After a general review of the front suspension/steering systems, make the necessary adjustments and replacements as noted.
