Hey guys, just another note, I've been getting a sort of 'shimmy' or a pretty violent shake in the steering wheel whenever I go around a left hand bend in the road doing around 50-60mph... Any idea on what it could be? I've asked the owner (who's quite knowledgeable in Rx-7s) and he said that it could be a lose wheel bearing? or possibly a controlling arm bushing... any idea on what this could be?

 

have you jakced it up and checked for play?

 

Theres really alot of different things it could be, first thing to check would definately be the wheels bearings.

 

It could even be just an unbalanced left-front tire.

 

if it were just an unbalanced left front tire, wouldn't it do it going around a right bend too?

 

check all the steering and suspention components. wheel bearings, ball joint, control arm, tie rods, strut.
