need help!! my 96 disco has a serious shimmy when i hit a bump or reach any significant speed (50 mph+). i had a wreck a little while back, and just not got the bumper, grille, etc replaced. put new shocks, and steering dampner on, and need alignment. this shimmy was noticeable before i put the steering stabilizer on, but was EXTREMELY magnified after. i know one tie rod end is shot (dust boot totally rotted off), but could this terrible shimmy be more than misalignment, and/or bad tie rod end? i mean could it be something more $$$$? what about swivel housing? need help asap. thanx |

start by getting all tires balanced. report back for the pricier alternatives if that doesn't work

I had the same exact thing happen to me... it's what caused me to name my truck "Deathsco"!!!!
Panhard rod bushings - cost about $30 from AB, but I had to have my mechanic press them on. I put new Woodhead shocks on too, truck runs smooth as silk now...
Hope this helps,
