I am slowly going thru the little issues , but this steering one remains

when I go over a bump at speed I feel a shimmy in the front end , kinda side to side, not up and down, no real noise. I thought this had a steering damper but it does not , but that is what it feels like a bad steering damper , caster shutter we called it in the old Mercedes I worked on, any ideas or what to look for

[RonnieB]

thrust bushings?? could that be the cause - any help would be appreciated,without a steering damper not sure what else to check?

[RonnieB]

and now I read about LCAB ,where should I start??

[RonnieB]

so let me ask, symptoms of bad thrust arm bushings and symptoms of bad LCAB, can anyone elaborate?

[RonnieB]

thrust bushings it is, on rack today - they are toast, hope this rids my car of the vibration and "shuttle" over bumps
