Yea, he's a noob.  He's got a "94 GT" and a "97 Z26"

I think its a strut that is bad.  BTW, only post ONE TIME about ONE PROBLEM.

[Mr Goodwrench]

for some reason it  didnt post  then i put it in the other topic thinking it would be better their... then it posted here???

no the strut is new ..

sorry
Mr Goodwrench
per the vin # it is a 97 year Z26  man date is 8/96 = 97
as for the 94 it dont say what it is but has gt stickers
i may be new but i do know my $hit..

Can't say I know what the problem might be, but I thought I could help you out with the VIN problems.  Look at the 10th digit of your VIN.  P = 1993, R = 1994, S = 1995, T = 1996.  The last year for the GT was 1993, and the last year for the Z26 (and all Berettas) was 1996.  Good to have ya here, Anthony

[Mr Goodwrench]

ive gottin to the bottom the the vins my 94 was built at the end of 9/93 with a r as the 10th but it have have the gt package per the build letter codes.
what we call a leftover or end of the year 93 but vin calls it a 94
same as my 97 it was built in 8/96 with the vin v as the 10th saying its a 97
this info is per my gm parts world vin look up at the dealership i work for..
why these car have a pushed up year because they were built with end of year using up all the 93 an 96 parts..

Enough with what year the car is or what "GT"-"Z26"!!
Im correct an you are wrong..

It has new struts and wheel bearings.. these are good per tests on other car..
their is a little  play in the ball joint no more than a 1/8th an some in the tie rod ends..  a arm bushings seem ok with a little clunk out of the vertical bushing..

the wider the tire the less it wiggles running a 215 55 r16 on now..

thanks

Maybe you didn't tighten the wheel lugnuts when you replace everything else...

[IsaacHayes]

I'll post here even though I posted in your other one.

Wider tire less wiggle? Are you sure this isn't sidewall flex?

I mean I have Z26 wheels with 205/55/16 tires on them, the sidewall is short and the wheel is wide so the tire is stretched to the max, the side wall is flat not buldging. I can put my foot on the top and push and the tire/car does not move.

Now when I have on my 14" steel wheels with 185/75/14 tires, which has a tall sidewall that buldges, and put my foot on the top of the wheel and push, the tire's sidewall flexes and the car moves side to side.

Is this what you are experiencing, or is much more severe? I know when I put on my 14" wheels from the 16", I freak out for the first week until I get used to it wobbling around from the sidewalls flexing side to side. It feels like I'm on wet pavement and the rear end is about to kick out/sliding!!!!

[Mr Goodwrench]

no lug tightened with torx stick then with wrench an always check twice..

Ive never seen or heard of any thing like this..  no one has eather..  

it like shakes the steering back an forth..  the faster you go the more intence it gets..  it feels like the front gets wiggly..

Mr Goodwrench
Even our Master Tech with 25+ cant figure it out..

[IsaacHayes]

CV axles. Shakes when you turn. Im really sure of this now how you described it, have you checked them out?

I guess there is a chance that it was hit at one time and the welds in the strut tower is busted... lol.

[Jeff P]

Maybe the bolts for the suspension support on the left side or the lower strut bolts aren't tight.  There's really not a lot there that could cause what you're talking about...

[IsaacHayes]

Does it make any noise when it does this?

[rweatherford]

Perhaps your master tech can figure out why you have cars with incorrect VIN's on them.

Sorry but this should not be a difficult problem to figure out.  Guess I'm a bit cynical.

If you post of picture of your VIN's then I'll believe them.  Just take a pic of your SPID.

[Decipha]

my car does the same thing as for the left turn wiggle... i think my problem is the motor mount, on the transmission they have a mount that actually supports the motor... maybe
this helps
