RE: Shimmy especially when turning left?

["Daniel Snow" <danws69@earthlink.net>]

do CV's typically 'shimmy' when they're about to poop out?
Mine has a similar shimmy to it when I accelerate in a slight turn.

I had an alignment done last Friday, and all four tires were balanced to the
likes of which I've *never* felt before.....it was <spectacular>*^#@!
....but I still had a shimmy on fast take-offs.

(on a side note about the tire balancing: I've never seen anyone balance the
inside AND the outside of the tire, I guess that's cause I've been going to
a crappy tire place....but if you haven't been getting them 'wobble'
balanced and rotationally balanced, then you're really missing out on a
smooth ride.)

If I break a CV real soon, I'll let you know Daun, then you can change yours
before it breaks ;)

So who else doesn't have a life on a Friday night now that
Julie dumped me for Larry...   ;p

No, seriously, on a Scirocco related subject...    I seem
to have developed a shimmy at around town speeds (and
above) in my '85 'rocco that I can't really determine the
reason for.  It mostly happens when turning left.  (The car
is in dire need of an alignment...)  I would suspect the
p-side front wheel bearing but I changed it about 3-4
months ago so I really doubt that's it.  Could it be an
inner CV giving up the ghost?  Anything else to check?
