    Default Steering question on ,my 525i 1989

    she has a little over 70K on the clock,
    http://s248.photobucket.com/albums/g...a/1989%20525i/



    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

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