Per Maximum Motorsports, offset rack bushings do more harm than good.

If none of the above work, turn the rotors, a warped rotor will also cause a shimmy
Huh? I, and others I know, have offsets and no issues. I do recommend the aluminum ones. They don't rotate like the polys sometimes do. If the shake happened when he was braking, that would work fine.

I must have bolted the wheels on while it was in the air and then forgot to retighten it on the ground, i checked my lugs, 4 could still be tightened like another 3/4 turn and one was so loose i could turn it with my fingers.... Tighetened em all up and shes perfect now.

I continue to tell people what I had mentioned earlier in this thread, since I've known people who have lost a wheel while driving because they didn't re-torque the lugs...

Remember....


CHECK YOUR NUTS!!!!
