    Shimmy on right turn X5

    So I noticed a shimmy on right turns going over 40 MPH or so. We replaced the right tie rod and the shimmy was gone but it was out of alignment. Got it aligned and it’s straight but the shimmy is back. Any thoughts about this? We are so frustrated please help!

    Any of the suspension bushings or balljoints could probably cause a shimmy. Have you checked the thrust rods and bushings? Wishbones?
