Hi Bernd,
Didn't check, but I have NO shimmy in the steering wheel when braking. I
thought the rule of thumb was if the steering wheel "shimmys" it's the
front brakes and if the brade pedal pulses, it's the rear brakes, of
course I could be all wrong on this. I will check the fronts.
Thanks,
Joe B.
