So after installing my Lokka and new CV axles, I got a fresh alignment, with all of them in the green!
I notice when going around curves or turns, the outside wheel starts to shake and shimmy. This happens on both sides. Seems related to lateral force on the wheel...IE slight curve at 45 mph or sharper turn at 10 mph.
Now, this is in 2wd, so the Lokka has nothing to do with this. Only thing I can think of is when I installed the CV axles, I had to take off the hub, the washer, and the wheel bearing lock nut.
The FSM states to use the special socket and torque the wheel nut to 70 ft lbs or something like that...tight. Then back it off and re-torque to a lesser torque.
How important is that? WHen I reassembled, I just took a punch and a 3 lb hammer and tapped it as tight as I could, then backed it up so the screw holes aligned. I have ordered the correct specialty socket to fully torque it to spec, but do you think that could be the issue?
At first I was thinking it could be alignment related, but with a fresh alignment all in the green, I am not convinced.
Any other ideas?
