steering shake still

[unfamilia]

shake is still there, less but still there slightly at 90 to 110 kmh.

.

basically the steering wheel can sake up to 5mm in your hand when driving on the freeway at these speeds.

have had multiple wheel balances, alignments, its all good.

had a suspcted wheel buckle hence the new rims. nope all good and old rims were good too

tried some 16 bsa rims, still there and was worse! (thats bsa for you i guess)

im running out of options

talikng to some engenieers from ford i have narrowed it down to a few possible (expensive) options.

1. possible worn/faulty shock

2. grabing brake (3 mechanics say its not)

3. worn.faulty bush in the front end

4. unbalanced drive shaft.

thats all they could think of.

tyre/wheel rotation from front to rear etc doesnt change it either. still the same.

it happens only on freeways at 90 - 110kmh and it could be theoretically tramiling by one wheel against the other 3

any ideas befroe i throw more money away at this south african built thing. no wonder toyota wont bring cars in from there again. Apart from that no other issues from the silver stivo (wear on the drivers leater due to my fatt a$$)

As a long shot, have you tryed to take it to Pedders for thier drive on steering and suspension check.

That 'should' pinpoint the problem if there is any.

yeah took it to pedders, they couldnt find anything wrong as the car only had 17,000kms on it then.

they said wheel alignment, they did it and still shook. so they didnt charge me

Wheel bearings?
