Now every GQ owner knows about this apparently, Nissan used to fix it for free, but what exactly is it, ive changed out my suspension with 2.5 lift, my ball joints etc seem in good nick but like at 90kmhr i get minor shimmys, they are bearable but i would like to fix it. What does anyone know about it? (Its not mud on the inside of the wheel).

specs, 30.L petrol GQ 2.5 lift 33in at's standard 15x7 sunraisr rims

do a quick search, could be a mulltiple number of thing,

could be,
Wheel balance,
Panhad bushes
Leading arm bushes,
castor could be out,

these may have been a problem before, but when lifting patrols it tents to magnify them a bit,

search is your friend

first this is to check out your bushes to make sure they are ok.......if they are not replace, and then once you are sure that they are AOK take it down to a truck place to get your front wheels ballanced on your car.

common for nissans is a wobble between 60 and 70km/h. but at 90 km/h i would definately be checking your wheel balance. as tyres wear they loose their balance. i just got my 33" mtrs balanced and the worst needed 180g of weight to fix it. now drives like a dream.
