Diagnosing crazy noise and shake on right-turns??

[RattlerRanger]

Does anyone know what is going on with my '84 2wd when it goes through a whole-body shake on right turns? I know my bushings and struts, wheel bearings, etc are all pretty tight.

When going anywhere from10-55 mph, even on subtle turns, the truck seems to go into a shimmy. Only on Right turns. The tire/brake/suspension shop near me cant figure it out..but I've been told that this is a somewhat common thing with these trucks.

Anybody heard of it or know a clue about what's going on?


Thanks!

Might sound kind of stupid but are all of your lug nuts on your wheels tight? I've seen cases where lose lug nuts will cause huge shaking and vibration issues. Check all 4 wheels.

if its on only right turns it sounds as if your front wheels bearings on the left may need a repacking or the bearings & races need replacing. Theres more pressure put on the left side when making a right turn & more pressure on the right side when making a left turn.
Your wheel bearing nut may also need to be preloaded

I appreciate the feedback..I might have to have the Tire Store near me check it all out again. They told me a couple years ago (haven't logged too many miles) that there was nothing wrong and couldn't find the culprit, even though they too felt and heard this weird shudder.
