| Sep 9, 2021 at 10:52 | comment | added | motosubatsu | The fact that it's substantially worse under accelerations makes me inclined to suspect engine/gearbox mounts. IIRC there were some issues on the Ducato with the mounts being a bit rubbish. | |
| Sep 9, 2021 at 7:33 | comment | added | Robert S. Barnes | @SolarMike Just curious, I had all four wheels balanced recently, they wouldn't pick up on a damaged rim during the balancing process? | |
| Sep 9, 2021 at 7:27 | comment | added | Robert S. Barnes | @SolarMike Yeah, I've got a dial gauge. I'll try that. | |
| Sep 9, 2021 at 7:13 | comment | added | Solar Mike | You have a dial gauge? used for checking heads etc? Mount a dial gauge and approach it to the rim - you will see how much the reading changes when you rotate the rim. Or even a pen, pencil could be used - it will mark the high point(s)... | |

| Sep 9, 2021 at 7:10 | comment | added | Robert S. Barnes | @SolarMike I'm not familiar with using a pointer to check if they are true. Could you elaborate? | |
| Sep 9, 2021 at 7:10 | comment | added | Solar Mike | Then why link to a question about u-joints if it is not relevant? | |
| Sep 9, 2021 at 7:09 | comment | added | Robert S. Barnes | @SolarMike Nope, but I'm going to take a look at the engine mounts, don't think this vehilce has U-Joints. | |
| Sep 9, 2021 at 7:08 | comment | added | Solar Mike | Damage to rims may not be visible, use a pointer to check if they are true etc | |
| Sep 9, 2021 at 7:07 | comment | added | Solar Mike | Given you linked these other questions, that does mean you have checked and tested every item suggested in the m then? | |
| Sep 9, 2021 at 7:07 | comment | added | Robert S. Barnes | @SolarMike I don't remember seeing any damage to the rims, but I'll go back and double check. | |
| Sep 9, 2021 at 7:06 | comment | added | Solar Mike | Did you check the rims? | |

| Sep 9, 2021 at 7:03 | comment | added | Robert S. Barnes | @SolarMike Tie rod ends are fine. The shimmy is felt in the entire vehicle and is very violent going uphill at hard acceleration, it's not felt just in the steering wheel. | |
| Sep 9, 2021 at 6:54 | comment | added | Solar Mike | Does this answer your question? What is my next step in figuring out the root cause of a steering wheel shimmy | |
