My tire place checked the car out, we put two new tires on front as they were needed, shimmy is still there, especially taking off or turning to the right which is the side that’s worse They said the sub frame bushings are pretty lose or worn, that could be the cause? That’s about only thing left up front lol

Had an accident (hit a curb at freeway entrance) and had to change rear right wheel. Tire was ripped and rim was bent. Found used rim and used tire, same BStone I had before... and it fixed my vibration at 60-75. All wheels were balanced an year before... Cheers!

I have been experiencing the same "vibration issue" where the passenger side seat shakes. Only thing I havent replaced on the front end would be the struts and tires themselves. Rear air shock replacement fixed it for awhile, but it has come back. Tires is what I'm hoping on does is. Just saving up the money for a brand new set of falken ziex. The set I have on them now were purchased in 2008 by original owner, car has 141K, 30K of my own, and are still in great shape with 5/32 left
