Hello everybody, today my mom and I had to take a trip that was about 130 miles one way. Most of it was hightway, so i was doing about 65 -75mph. So anyway, around 70mph, we could feel the truck "shimmy". But the wierd thing is, you cant feel it through the steering wheel. The steering is perfect. The truck rides/dives fine. It's just when you're goingdownthe highway, you can feel it "shimmying". Any ideas?


Thanks.

 

your tires are out of balance, take it to a tire shop and have them rotate and balance your tires. and you might want to check tire pressure they all should be at 35 psi.

 

been off roading latley could have mud in a rim<s>

 

Also one time I felt a shimmy and it turned out to be a driveshaft u-joint. That one I felt more in the seat. I also agree with 01dodgedriver. I recently bought new summer tires and the vibration/shimmy that I felt went away with the new tires. A side note I love the new cooper s/t's.

 

Thanks everybody.

 

Yea it's funny my dad just picked up his Ram from the shop when he experienced the same problems. He said they replaced the U-joints, and some other things my dad couldn't explain to me.
