[urq] [s-cars] Problem vibration in the front end?

[colin cohen]

Yes a possibility but no more pronounced in corners than it is on straight 
roads.  Only the change in surface seems to set it off which is why I was 
sure it was shocks.  I needed a new passenger side one which collapsed after 
we removed it.  Got a nice set from 2-B whose service remains the best!

Minneapolis is the home of the Beddor cars.  Go chase them Darin they hide 
them away from all of us!

My UrS4 would shudder like that sort of when the bushing for my inner
control arm was shot.  Most noticeable on long sweeper corners... once
to the point where I swore I was about to lose a wheel!

But uh, in light of Wylie's comments, you are welcome to send the car
out here to Minneapolis.  I'll gladly test it for you.   ;-)
