I have got a little wiggle going on in the front end. The best way I can explain is similar to driving on pavment while in four wheel drive, not nearly as extreme but similar. It is most noticable when turning in either direction. I lifted the front end off the ground and tried to see if I could find something loose but the best I could find was the u joints on the end of the axle had just a slight bit of play in them, is this enough to make a noticable wiggle in the front end? There is one other thing I noticed, the power steering pump is leaking bit still within operating range on dip stick.

Any thoughts, suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Check to see if you threw a wheel weight.

 

check your tie rod ends, had the same prob, but they didnt have any play in them to speak of, even went to the dealership 3 times, I changed the upper and fixed the prob.

 

Thanks for the replys. Well she's got a date with the dealer in the morning so will see what they come up with.

042500, appreciate the heads up on the tie rod end. We got a race in Boise ID next week (4 1/2 hrs each way), with any luck we will be able to get it figure out by then.

RJJR, I just put a set of centrametrics on about 500 miles ago, should cure any balancing issues.

What are centrametrics and where do you buy them?

 

Sorry RJJR, I must have been a little too sleepy last night. Don't quite know where I came up with centrametric, They are centramatic http://www.centramatic.com/. As I posted before I have only been running them for about 500 miles and did notice a reduction in vibration and noise going down the road immediately after install. The site will give the nitty gritty but they look basically like a dust sheild and have a ring around the perimeter that contains 10 or 12 oz of media. Seems to be great product so far.
