When I get to about 40mph, after 50mph it stops. I want to be safe. Could this be tires or alignment? The truck has 173k miles. I have been told to check the steering linkage too, perhaps ball joints ? Any ideas ? Thanks...Darren Mac Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jul 16, 2009, 10:02 AM Post #2 of 3 (5746 views) Re: 96 Z71 shimmies while driving Sign In The first thing you want to look at is the wheel balance. You also want to inspect the front end carefully. It is likely wheel balance that is the initial trigger of the problem but any looseness in any of the suspension or steering linkage will greatly exaggerate it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. darren mac Novice Jul 19, 2009, 5:42 AM Post #3 of 3 (5734 views) Re: 96 Z71 shimmies while driving Sign In Replaced all 4 tires at Walmart last night and the shimmie problem stopped instantly. Thanks Hammer Time, These tires were worn and probably out of balance too.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
