Re: Play in top of front strut.... what could it be? is it dangerous?



The shaking is like a bouncing going on in the steering wheel, it comes and
goes in a periodic cycle at steady speeds above 70mph. the wheels have been
balanced and checked for crookedness.

The alignement is a wee bit off... but it is very negligeable... could that
really be it?
