<< Okay, I'm a believer-off with its head- New right strut bearing for me. 
 Was your steering wheel vibrating like a cheezy Niagra Falls motel bed or 
 were your symptoms more like clunking noises over speed bumps? Seems 
 bizarre that a component so far removed from the steering shaft would be 
 the culprit. >>

Yes!.....Anything over 40 mph gave me the shimmyshakes and it was horrible on
any kind of bump. Clunkety clunk clunk.  I was convinced that it was the inner
tierod and then I thought it was one of the steering column joints and then I
thought it was the motor mounts I had just replaced last winter when I did the
tranny.  Now it's super smooth all the way up to 120.  Woo Hoo.   Now if I
could just get another new set so I can put my Neuspeed springs and Koni's on
I'd be set.  That's next weekend.  :-)
