Default 55 Mph Head Shake

I‘ve had a steering wheel wobble for a long time. The problem was thought to be several different reasons including out of balance tires, excessive weights on the rims, bent rims, steering rack, bad tires and on and on. Long story short, my car was at Hergesheimer’s for an AC repair. Jimmy test drove the car and knew exactly what to do. Turns out my front control arm bushing were worn out. Not an inexpensive fix but my problem is finally solved. I’m so happy with the results the car drives better than new. Great Job Hergesheimer’s ! Jimmy you da man.

yup... common issue at this age and/or miles

but it can be pretty economical with Walrod's PU bushings as replacements. Just an option.

Congrats on the "new" car

Looking at my paperwork the bushings are a urethane aftermarket (Walrod) upgrade, part number Ki-N, Herg's also blasts the control arms, looks awesome.
