2006 Chrysler 300C AWD front-end shimmy

by zzracer440 on Jan 23 2019, 7:06 PM

While driving @ about 40-45mph the front end starts a shimmy that gets so bad i'm afraid to keep accelerating to see if it would go away at a higher speed.where do I start to correct this?

    Thanks ,I'll check that out,right now we're ass deep in snow and the 300 is locked away in my shop,so before I pull it back out again,I'll check the wheels and tires and if all looks good I'll try a re-balance,and check out for loose front-end components,Thanks again.

    From your description, you most likely have a tire out of balance, a bad spot (lump) in a tire, or a bent wheel. You can usually spot an out of round or bad tire/wheel by spinning it and watching to see if it spins true or has a wobble. You can also look at the tire to see if it looks like any weights have come off the wheel is damaged in any way. If all that checks out, get the tires balanced. We would also definitely inspect the suspension components for looseness to rule out any unforeseen issues there.
