993 Steering vibration
I recently purchased a 1995 993 convertible with about 82,000 miles on the odo.
The car drives great except there is an intermitant vibration or shimmy in the steering wheel at times. The tires were old (15 years old but with great tread) so I replaced them with a set of Michelin Pilot Sports to match the rears. They are 2011 vintage but have about 2000 miles on them. The pulsation and steering shimmy occurs some times while accelerating at about 45 to 50 mph. The steering id more pronounced braking in corbers at about 40 to 50 mph. I can forcefully apply the brakes in a straight line from 65 mph with not pulsation or shimmy. This car was never driven much. Of course not too good. I don't think it is a tire balance issue but .... I don't think it is warped rotors because it stops true with no pulling or vibration. I almost think the problem is tie rods or control arm bushings. I am looking for advice. Thanks!!!
