Re: 164 update: do fries come w/that shake?

Dug,

The master cylinder issue will seem unrelated. Does the brake pedal get
firm, lose travel when this occurs?

164. all i know is this - w/the clutch, trans input shaft bearing, & lower
ball-joints recently replaced, i'd hoped all the front-end demons wooda been
exorcised. well, the demons are obviously still there, otherwise, i wooda
never asked for help! :>)

everyting seems tight - wheel-bearings, steering rack, motor-mounts,
suspension bushings, shocks. while i haven't yet checked the brake mc, i get
no shaking under braking, & the rotors looked great when the pads were
wery-recently replaced... i am gonna try rotating the tires, & rebalancing
the wheels; then i'm yust gonna drive it - dunno what else to do in the
meantime... mebbe whatever it is will get bad enuff to make itself
obvious...
