I just noticed my 1998 has a shimmy at idle. Its not bad, but is this a known issue to come flying off? Where can I pick up a stock one, or is it cheaper to go with powerbond... I am curious?

I have a stock one that I just took off my 10,000 03 Z06. Nothing wrong with it and like new. Going with a $450 ATI as part of my head/cam/intake swap. Make me an offer!

Seems that a bit of wobble is very common.....I have a great dealer service dept. here and they're going to replace mine before my GMPP runs out. Curious to see if the new one makes a difference...............

It should make a difference as there really shouldn't be any wobble.

Mine wobbles just a little and as soon as you give it a little gas it stops. I checked the guys down the street and his does the same thing. I think most of them have a little wobble in them. I read on this forum a guy had just replaced his with a new one and the new one did the same thing. I think I'll just keep an eye on mine, it is a 2001 with 51,000 miles.
