BMW E21 55 MPH Shimmy

guys iver in the bf.com were discussing front suspension shimmy...TomD suggested the following...


if I was chasing a shimmy I would go in this order:

• check steering rack bushings - replace if necessary
•  sway bar to control arm bushings(Bflan2001 Suggested)
• check tie rod ends - replace if necessary
• rebalance tires
• check condition of tires - replace if necessary
• check front shocks - replace if necessary
• after doing all of the above if shimmy still present then
• replace tires
• rebuild rack
