I'm not sure if that bushing would cause a shimmy-ing. One of mine is bad and all it does is clunk and make a noise you hear at low speed - like when leaving the garage or a parking space.

gracer, I have that BUshing really wornt and I broke the sway bar mounts too....
I think that the shimmy-ing may came from there.....

The shimmy-ing starts after 75 miles per hour....

I really need 2 know that bushing´s name...

Also referred to as a front upper 'A' arm bushing.

^Scroll down to the post from "FSBOREGIS" and see if that describes your problem. The post doesn't mention it, but this is usually felt as much as heard, usually at low speed and during braking. Like when your backing up from parking or starting forward after braking in reverse. Pretty easy fix if it is.
