The tires/wheels do not feel out of balance and the shimmy in the steering is mo
re pronounced (when it is there) when I turn the wheel/change lanes. Sometimes g
oing straight at highway speeds (and above) the steering wheel is often rock sol
id/smooth.
I have Pantera East 17" Campy replicas and am sure they are true, etc...but I wi
ll have them checked. Since the vibration goes away completely (sometimes), I'm
thinking it is in the bushings or something like that???
Any known/obvious things I should check?
