[QUOTE="moots, post: 478195, member: 219"] howdy wan,what size wheels are you using?the most the e34s are comfortable with are 17 inchers.bigger wheels will induce shimmies and tramlining.you have changed most of the parts that are associated with wheel shimmy.1 fact,when you replace the upper and lower arms,you must tighten the arms (bushing side) with the car on terra firma and NOT whilst the wheels are dangling on a hoist or floor jacks. i osso had vibes during braking on my e34 and it turned out to be 1 rear disc that was warped but u changed yrs oledi so that canot be it. i do not think it's your caliper coz if it's sticking then it will overheat your discs and cause disc warp which will exaggerate into a shimmy under braking.all discs you have replaced so this cud not be it. your hub rings are also suspect.when i fixed the e39 m5 17" replicas to my e34 it wobbled like hell straight out of the shop.the hubcentric rings eliminated all that. wanna test fit my rims onto yours to eliminate the wheels as the probable cause........?hey....what are forummers for....gimme a call....09-3181060 don't give up bro......the e34 is a blast to drive and thrash around corners.....i prefer it to the e39 but the e39 comfort and refinement.....huh....x boleh challenge ooooooo [/QUOTE]
