Damn this is pissing me off.
93 eg with 200K miles on it. I have replaced everything in the suspension, from koni's/GC coilovers, to new steering rack, tie rods (inner and outer), wheel bearings, and all the bushings are new poly.
Also brand new rotors.
Still have a shimmy, mainly under harder braking.

Tried rotating the wheels, but no difference.

I even took the brand new rotors in and had them checked at NAPA for runout.

What in the hell can be causing this shimmy? It feels like the tires are wobbling left to right at high frequency under braking (just to be clear what I mean by shimmy). It isnt a bounce, but a side to side shimmy.

thx

try to take off the wheels ALL OF THEM

retorque and torque in proper sequence-- improper sequence/ torque specs can give u brake pulse seen MANY MANY TIMES from sloppy/shitty tech

star pattern and 80 ft lbs IIRC on trq specs

over tightened lugnuts with an impact???
can cause rotor to warp
if it's a shimmy due to other stuff it won't be just during braking.

try bleeding your brakes.

mattbatson

I'll try that. I even have another set of wheels that I'll try on there and see what happens.
thx

mattbatson

hey, they are bled. I have a motive self bleeder and even have a new master cylinder on there

mattbatson

hey, no I torque wrench everything

mattbatson

alright, so I put on my new konig 15x7's with new tires and the brake shimmy is still there.

everything on the front end is new.

any ideas?

You didn't say in the original post, but did you replace your brake pads?

mattbatson

hey guys, yes everything has been replaced on the front end.

all ball joints, all bushings, all tie rod ends, brand new brake pads, brand new rotors, wheel bearings, steering rack, etc.

I cant believe I'm having this problem as my crx doesnt do this and I have yet to touch it's 200K mile front end.

idk bro i would double check everything and make sure all your ***** tight.
