    Guys I gave up on it. I Have done all say and more! Replaced the rack only because at the time the dealer could not get tie rods, road forced so many times my head is spinning. Rotors and pads, tires and even rims 3 times lol. I just except that there is going to be some type of wheel and vibration in the car! That is the only thing that I hate about an excellent car! What really bothers me is that its always at what I call the sweet spot that I drive every time I get in the car 78 to 83 mph area!

    Whatever tire I have had on the car until they get warmed up the car and steering wheel shimmy. Once warmed up I have a vibration and very and I mean very slight shimmy in the wheel lol.

    As i said I have excepted that it is what it is lol.

    I wouldn't accept that...mine has zero vibe/shimmy at ANY speed, i've been up pretty high too....Maybe it's in the suspension. Man, i'm really glad i don't have this issue, as OCD as I am, i'de still be under the car trying to figure it out.

    not in the suspension, Kyle. I have had this since day one and have since changed my suspension to KW's and of course have been through three sets of rims with four different tire manufactures. It just "Is". haha

    Great, now I just noticed this today on my drive in. I have new front tires going on in a couple of weeks along with tension struts and new control arms. Hopefully after the alignment is done all will be well.

    Well It has to shine on someones lol. Lucky for you as I drove myself crazy on it. To look at the front passengers seat and see it bouncing at the headrest was making me loss my mind. And as I said 3 different tires, 3 different rims 2 of them OEM sets, complete front rack, 2 sets of rotors and pads, and countless road force balancing. As I said cold tires bad shimmy, warm tires very small shimmy. So now either I drive 75 or 85 lol, until the tires warm up.
