A shimmy
I noticed before that if I went 65 or faster, I would get a shimmy in the front and found out that my 2 ride side rims were bent. After I replaced them, the ride was smooth as silk. Well I'm getting a shimmy again. If I find out I have another bent rim, I'm gonna be SOOO pissed. :cuss :banghead: :cuss
Is it possible to have a shimmy caused by bad wheels? I know I'm due for some new ones. My right-front is pretty low and my rear-left keeps losing tire pressure. They are diagonal of one another and I notice sometimes the car wants to pull in either direction. Could the tread be causing all these problems? :cry

Could be the wheel bearings, big $$$$$.
Jack the car up and pull on the wheels, theyre not supposed to move sideways.

No, not like turning movements, like turn the wheels straight and see if they move in/out from the car at all.
