| I have spent countless dollars on trying to find this one problem my steering wheel shimmy and as I go over bumps or uneven pavement the car pulls to the right ball joints tie rods engine mounts trans mounts sway bar links rotors brakes calipers and on a hot day on the interstate I feel a lot of the road going up a hill is when it feels like the right wheel wants to move excessively | |

| I think this is more than one issue. The vibration is probably your tire/wheel balance. The steering pull pull might be alignment or inner/outer tie rod end. _________________ '05 GTO 6.0L • 6-spd • 95k miles • 0-60: 4.8s • 16.9 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:26'95 Celica GT 2.2L • 5-spd • 165k miles • 0-60: yes'98 SC Riviera • 281k miles • 298 HP/370 TQ • 0-60: 5.79s • ET: 13.97 @ 99.28 • 4087 lb • 20.1 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:30

Mr. AA I tried that as well I have been doing some searching and these are factory struts and mounts on the car still and they seem like the issue upon diagnosis | |

| Never hurts to update the struts. The originals are usually shot after 100k miles, and they really weren't that good brand new. While you're in there replace the strut mounts/bearings, too. _________________ '05 GTO 6.0L • 6-spd • 95k miles • 0-60: 4.8s • 16.9 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:26'95 Celica GT 2.2L • 5-spd • 165k miles • 0-60: yes'98 SC Riviera • 281k miles • 298 HP/370 TQ • 0-60: 5.79s • ET: 13.97 @ 99.28 • 4087 lb • 20.1 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:30
