Reply With Quotedoes it shake when you aply the brakes? Hopefully its simply out of balance. If it shakes when braking it's most likely thrust arms.
Vibration in front end!!
I have a 1995 BMW 5 series and I have recently noticed a vibration in the front drivers side wheel. It starts at about 52 mph and goes away at about 60 mph. Does anyone have an idea what would cause this, and if so how much will it cost to fix.
Thanks!

I tentatively will take the line that most guys seem to take, upper control arms. But, I haven't done mine yet so I can't speak from experience. Could also be warped rotors or just bad alignment.
BTW - I just got my Lemforder 750 upper control arms. They look COOL! Kiss that 50-60 shimmy goodbye!
