What air pressure are you running in your tires?
I am interested for the 2000 and up models with stock size rims and tires. That don't have to be the original tires, just the same size.
I ask this because I am getting ready to try and see if adjusting the air pressure some will have any effect on the shimmy I have. I had a slow leak in my right front tire and I found my shimmy a lot worse when it got a little low (around 20 psi). Funny I always thought with a tire low on air it would pull not make the car shake. I over inflated it a little...to 35psi and the shimmy seemed to be gone. I did however still feel a little feedback in the wheel while turning at high speeds under moderate throttle.
what pressures have you tried and how did it effect your ride?
Thanks
Edit: Also post the recommended pressure stamped on the drivers door jamb. Mine is 30 front and rear and the tire size is 235/55/17

Have you recently rotated your tires by chance?
