I use Porsche wheels and I torque them with a proper torque wrench and I've tried doing them over and over,
The LCA bushings, front and rear(castor block) are brand new OEM Porsche.
What in the steering rack would go? The rack was rebuilt and has maybe 10000kms on it.
Could be the rotors, I will put a dial on them. Could be wheel bearings, I will probably just replace them.
I just did all the bushings. The castor blocks were bad and when I changed them I thought for sure the shimmy would go away.
I'm also skeptical of the front struts. The Boge inserts I have just don't seem to fit 100%. they are just slightly loose in the strut housing. Would that cause a shimmy?
