I've had a shimmy in the front of my 1982 924 sense I bought the car... I repacked the wheel bearings and tightened per specs, That greatly reduced it, I have had all 4 wheels balanced and have tried rotating the wheels/tires to different positions. Still a slight shimmy around 55 mph. Everything in the front seems good and tight, no play. I've repacked the CV joints and they look OK. This weekend I replaced the front springs and struts with Weltmeister 250lb progressive springs and Boge struts, and KYB Gas adjust rear shocks. While the car handles and rides great (the old parts were well worn) I still have the shimmy. I set the front Camber to neg .5 deg using an inclinometer... I checked the toe using a tape measure and measuring across the front and rear of the tires, It was at 1/8 in toe in, I tried 1/4 in, 0 in and 1/8 toe out... made no difference so I put it back to 1/8 toe in. Then I checked the rear... Its at a bit under 1.5 deg neg camber on both sides but is TOED OUT about 3/16 in. The car tracks straight and doesnt wear tires funny any all. Could this toe out on the rear cause a front shimmy?? Any thing else to check or could it just be the tires. After all the fiddling it now is smooth up to 60 mph before it vibrates, the vibration goes away around 70 mph.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
