wooble

had a similar problem on my 87. that turned out to be a tierod end. changed it out and no more problem. my syptoms was a terrible shaking at above 65 slow down and it smoothed out. when i got under it i found the left side rod could be moved by hand.

i'm sure you'll find a similar problem if you look. it wouldn't be a bad idea to start with the lug nuts to eliminate a loose wheel. from there go to the tierods and all the steering components.

It would be a good time to also check the steering dampener, after all the shaking and wobbling.

thanxfor the help

the problem turned out to be a bad rotor, When it gets hot it deforms until it makes the car wooble. I can drive the car for 10-20 mins b4 the rotor heats up enough to make the car shake if I stop and wait for about 10 mins it cools down and i can drive again (THATS HOW I GOT IT TO THE SHOP )

THANX FOR THE HELP
