There can be an accumulation of problems to cause the shimmying, but the idler bush is a great place to start. I had the steering box and drag link replaced when I got the car, but neglected the idler untill now. Check the ball joints on the drag link too, if the rubbers are broken down chances are the joints are damaged by water and dirt inclusion.

The complete idler arm with bushing are pretty cheap now days. You can get a Febi or Lemforder for around $50 USD. If you apply heat with a torch on the idle arm above the tapered ball joint fitting it will help the breaker tool pop it loose.

The car drives fine, but as V8jagnut told me, any work on the front end wil put the wheels out of allignment and cause uneaven tire wear. my front tires are near-new so I don't really need them to scrub out. I'll book an alignment tomorrow. BTW, love your username ;) I chose the Red Pill too!, Keep it real man!

it can make allignment a bit hard because it likes to float around, but its not hard to change. I would recommend pulling the bush out without separating the arm tho, its a lot easier

I may have to do this to my E32, get this shimmy even after balancing and alignement and all. it really never goes away completely

Thank you for the video, this should help me when I change that piece on my e38. My alignment shop said I can't get it aligned unless I have this part changed.. Honestly I think hes being petty but oh well. Great Vid!!!!!
