Alignment will not usually cause shaking/shimmying. Look for tires out =
of balance/round, or a bent wheel (again)

Hi everyone,
I recently had a small accident with my car, an 87 16V, where I =
slid=20
sideways into a ditch. Things are mostly O.K as I just hurt a couple =
of the=20
fiberglass body kit parts (which I am finding to be very hard to =
find). The=20
tire popped off the rim as a result, and the toe was knocked out. I =
had the=20
had a new tire mounted on the rim, and had the car aligned. The =
control=20
arms and everything else were fine. The technician said that the rim =
looked=20
bent (the one which took most of the force), so I expected it to =
shimmy a=20
little. I tried putting another teardrop rim on my car to see if it =
still=20
wobbled, and it does at around 60-65 mph. Thus, I think something =
else is=20
still wrong, as I know the other rim I tried isn't bent. I checked =
all of=20
the tire pressures as well and they are O.K. I'm assuming the =
alignment is=20
still out causing the car to shimy a little at higher speeds. It =
feels=20
great below 55 - 65. If anyone has any ideas (assuming the car is =
aligned=20
properly) as to why my car might be doing this, I would appreciate it. =
Also=20
if anyone is selling some 16V bodykit parts I would greatly appreciate =
it.
Thanks in advance,
Aaron
87 16V
