Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Maintenance and Repair / February 2008shimmy frontend 1995 voyager
I have a shimmy starting off when accelerating, feels like it shimmys left to right, and steering wheel will do the same. Then goes away at higher speed to a vibration. The shimmy will ease off and go away when I let off the accelerator and come back when applied. I am suspecting cv axels? I pulled the right side wheel off and shook the disc back and forth foward and back there seem to be a little play, with the entire axel, I am not sure if there is supposed to be any play at all. Any help from a pro will be appreaciated thank you It's a 1995 plymouth voyager with 105,000 > Any help from a pro will be appreaciated thank you I am sure your dealership will be happy to help you with a "pro" analysis. >> Any help from a pro will be appreaciated thank you > > I am sure your dealership will be happy to help you with a "pro" analysis. Thanks for your insight I am sure they would. This wasn't meant to be sarcastic sorry if my statement offended you, as your reply was sarcastic. I meant people on here would be more of a "pro" and knowlegable than I am. Thank you for your help. >>> Any help from a pro will be appreaciated thank you >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > I meant people on here would be more of a "pro" and knowlegable than I > am. Thank you for your help. A lot of times people post this way, and it is sometimes taken as offensive There are a lot of people on here who are accomplished nonprofessionals and some professionals who are, under most situations, quite happy to try to help. Sorry my post was a bit on the caustic side. > I have a shimmy starting off when accelerating, feels like it shimmys >left to right, and steering wheel will do the same.

Best repair is usually determine which side and install a rebuilt axle assembly. >> I have a shimmy starting off when accelerating, feels like it shimmys >>left to right, and steering wheel will do the same.

That's what I suspect, probably best to do both sides with the mileage.

Try switching tires from back to front and see what that does. -jim >> I have a shimmy starting off when accelerating, feels like it shimmys >>left to right, and steering wheel will do the same.
