[s-cars] Violent front end shimmy on cornering

[djdawson2 at aol.com]

I concur with Randy's assessment.? Replace both of your control arms, not just the suspect.? I have experienced this on numerous occasions with the UrS, and it has always been the control arms.

I think Chris' incident was a unique one, but worth taking a looksy as well.

Randy,

If the other suggestions don't pan out, my guess is that your left front lower 
control arm needs replacing.
Your high speed right turns could be putting enough inward cornering force on 
the left tire to overcome the tension force on the control arm. The lower 
control arms are usually in tension because the wheels are outboard from the 
struts. Any looseness in the ball joint or inner bushing can allow oscillations 
to occur.

Paul
