Shimmy

Suspension System

The front camber and caster are adjusted by loosening the upper control arm bolts which will allow the upper arm to be moved in the slotted frame holes. The LF caster can be adjusted by loosening the lower control arm rearward nut to allow the lower arm to be moved in the slotted frame hole. Front toe is adjusted by the use of the front wheel spindle tie rods. The rear camber is adjusted by replacing the upper arm inboard flagnut with a non-flagnut to allow the arm to be adjusted in the slotted frame holes. The rear toe is adjusted through the use of the rear toe link cam bolt.

Shimmy

Shimmy, as observed by the driver, is large, consistent, rotational oscillations of the steering wheel resulting from large, side-to-side (lateral) tire/wheel movements.

Shimmy is usually experienced near 64 km/h (40 mph), and can begin or be amplified when the tire contacts pot holes or irregularities in the road surface.
