[s-cars] '95 intermittent front-end shakes

[Krasusky Paul (WQQ2PXK)]

Taka-

I suppose that's possible, considering all the other Bilstein failures I've
heard about.  Though I'd personally think a failed shock would be produce
symptoms under these as well as OTHER conditions, no?  Transitional handling
seems fine, and interesting it's throttle-load dependent as well as weight
transfer load dependent.

Do you think a failed shock would only be 'seen' here?  What's the best way
to test that, other than pulling it out the top of the tube?  I guess
there's my answer...

Tx.

Any possibility you have a failed shock?

My left front end has developed an off-throttle-only violent
'shudder'... happens ONLY at speed (think 3 digits) while going through
a longish LEFT hand sweeper and I let OFF the gas (unloading the LF /
inner wheel to the apex).  Get back on the gas and it's gone, let off
again, shudder.  I can just about feel / hear it in the LF really.
Violent is possibly a strong word, but it's VERY pronounced, audible,
etc.

I know a few others here had something similar here a while back, IIRC
people told them subframe tightening, etc.  Mine's tight, as was the
rest of the suspension.  


-Paul great first I have the shakes now the car K.
