Has anyone ever experienced a shimmy when accelerating then letting off the accelerator? The shimmy comes from the front of the vehicle ,usually only happens when going up a hill and can be felt in the steering wheel. I recently had the rear wheel bearings replaced at 122K and the front ones repacked. All u-joints O.K. and have new driveshaft conversion.(Got rid of the rubber rotoflex). Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated. Confused in PA.

I get the same thing, but it is also has a groan that goes along with it. I don't know what it means but i would also be interested in figureing it out also...

Check trailing arms. If they are not tight you will experience a bit of a ride.
