Re: figure this one out
Actually I have this trouble on my Caddy.
When their is slush or freezing rain or if I drive through mud--whatever, it collects on the inside of the tire rim. I have to run a hose from hot water tank outside and lay on my back and rinse the underside and rim until it is clean and clear.
I just finished running hot and cold water to my garage so at least now, I can just run the hose out of the spindle to the car and hose her down and then wind it back up.
Before I figured this out, I took it in and had it re-balanced under the lifetime warranty for that and the guy told me the balancing was fine and pointed to a pile of crap that came out from inside the tire rims and said there was your problem.
Once fixed, 85 and no shimmy.
BTW, for the first time this winter, I need to do this again as we go a case of freezing rain and I drove a kid home who lived on these mucky roads and got dirt up inside the rims.
Hope these suggestions help.
Again...mud, snow, or ice on the inside of the rims...first place to check.
