Thread: Need diagnostic help on SEVERE steering wheel shake

Tweet

Couple things---

If it gets better with more brake---that is the result of getting the disc squeesed down to same distance as it goes around.

Is this a front end that was removed from a mustang2 and installed or is it an aftermarket--Heights, etc?

whoever did the front end alignment didn't care or know what he was doing--sure those numbers are in spec acording to there specs but there isn't any of them where they need to be and also the same on both sides.

does the upper control arm mounting have any brake anti dive angle in it???

Tell me about it, when I questioned the wide differences in number on each side, he reassured me that as long as it was "in range" it's fine and that if I was still having a shake, it was probably something else, other than the alignment. Was done at a Tire Kingdom... I'l try to get the car to a rod shop as soon as I check a few more items for a new alignment..

pardon my ignorance, but I don't know what "brake anti dive angle" is or how to determine. thanks!
