Re: e24 steering corrections
[quote=KC Ron Carter]The tire bounces and the suspension is weak and just keeps bouncing.
The pulsations are most likely the thrust arm bushings.
OE was rubber and if sags it can cause the steering wheel to pulse 2 >>
Well, I got the time to take the wheels off and check the brakes and front suspension. The brake pads had almost no wear but were frozen to the spindle. It took a srew driver and a hammer to break them loose. No wonder there was a shimmy!
I pulled the calipers and break pads off, cleaned everything up,greased the friction points between the brake pads the calipers and the spindles and put it back together. No more shimmy!
This site is so great! I have lots of other issues with electrical and so forth. The electrical schematics I've found on here and other info have been a huge help! Thanks to those that posted them!
PS. the suspension bushings looked and felt ok, but thanks for the info.
