Rooster2 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 My 99 OBW has a slight steering wheel shake at freeway speed. It feels like it might be at the passenger front wheel. It is not a bad shake, just feels like the steering wheel has Parkinson's disease. Some history.........I recently had the half shaft replaced on the right front. The original shaft had actually broken into two pieces where the large nut threads onto the half shaft. The wheel bearing was not replaced, since my mechanic said the bearing appeared undamaged. I was thinking I had bad tires, (like a broken tire belt) so replaced them, but still have the shake. Ball joints and tie rods seem tight. I considered getting a front end alignment, but doubt that will solve this problem. I am thinking the rebuilt half shaft from Autozone may be the culprit. I know AZ half shafts aren't the best at $59.95. Any thoughts on how to proceed?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olnick Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Best bet is get a remanufactured Subaru axle from MWE. Marshall Wolf is a good guy to deal with and the quality seems to be superb. You can call him at1-303-522-8070. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
