steering shimmy
 

Hey guys, 2000 Silverado. 265-75-16 Kelly safari TSR tires

at around 30 - 35mph only, my steering wheel slightly shimmies left and right. it doesn't do it below 30, and also doesn't do it on the highway.

I asked the oil change shop to rotate the tires, but he said I just rotated them recently and the problem sounds more like an alignment or tie rod issue.

any have this happen? any opinions?

Re: steering shimmy
 

the steering rack ends wear out. They are replaceable. I just replaced these and the tie rod ends on my 2002 1500. Jack a front wheel up, grab the tire and rock it back and forth. If there is any play,then they are worn.

the front end links the pitman arm idle arm ball joints and wheel bearings all wear out really quick. id check all that.
